i tried the Troubleshooting Wizard, im including the output

[meirp (meir-parker)]

I am getting the same error as above.

[evp55555 (evp55555)]

I found a workaround: installing the package "ghostscript-cups".
note: I am using the ppa "jaunty-bleed", and I suspect that this is the cause of the problem (but not sure).

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

On a standard Karmic system ghostscript-cups is installed by default and it cannot be uninstalled if there are driver packages installed which need it (Gutenprint, SpliX, HPLIP).

[Richard McDonald (rjmcd)]

I am having the same problem with a Dell 1320c printer, it also is not recognized by the computer all the time, after reboot it sees it with lsusb, then reboot again and lsusb does not see it and dmesg says port is invalid HELP is needed

you should open new bug with all the details since this bug is marked as invalid, and it also doesn't suit your description.
