Sorry I'm unable to help with this as I'm new to Linux, but I though I'd pass on my thoughts...
For your interest, I like to run ubuntu off a pendrive, so that I just carry my desktop and work around with me...
However,
according to the above: printing is broken in Dapper [Bug 40795]
but additionally, persistence is broken in Edgy [Bug 84591]
The combination of these two bugs (and surprising lack of support for something with Long Term Support) means I'm currently disappointingly unable to do this. Back to windows for now :(
