foomatic-gui, under Add > Choose printer connection shows a selectable entry for:
USB Printer #1 Unknown

Selecting it and clicking Forward allows me to enter Printer Identification data. Clicking Forward I am allowed to select the printer make and model - Panasonic KX-P4410 - and presented with three printer drivers:
gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.2
gutenprint-ijs.5.2
ljet2p (recommended)

Selecting ljet2p (recommended) and clicking Forward and Apply results in the printer being 'added' but it fails to print. It isn't permitting the selection of the CUPS+ drivers, which in my Jaunty 9.04 installation, works flawlessly.

What can I provide that might aid in getting this bug fixed?
