As suggested in ubuntu-devel-discuss (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2008-April/003992.html) I tried printing on a 8.04 Live CD. That worked without a hitch. I observed that I didn't have the package libpam-smbpass when using the Live CD.

I'd hate to be forced to reinstall the entire system just to get the printing to work.

I removed my printer before I rebooted to the Live CD and when I got back into my desktop I could see that the printer had been automatically installed. It's an EPSON EPL-5900.

When I tried to print a test page to the printer I got a popup a few moments later telling me that EPL-5900 might not be connected.

The web-gui works fine now (maybe after installing the libpam-package or maybe after just rebooting).
