Binary package hint: cups

Package: CUPS
Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) fresh install (not an upgrade)
My HP-OfficeJet-G85 is connected via USB. This is AMD64 machine and previously running 8.04 (LTS). With Hardy,
I had the same printer connected via USB and working fine with two printer names G85 (for local prints), G85-RAW for prints from the network machines (Windows XP, Max OS X and Fedora 12). Things just worked.

After the fresh install of 10.04, I see the printer defined and ready as OfficeJet-G85 and set as default. But nothing prints to the device and no errors from the local machine. I have not even tried to define the RAW printer for other clients' use yet. I need to get the local printing working first.

I tried all four device drivers (HP, CUPS+GutenPrint Simpler, CUPS+GutenPrint, Foomatic) and none has worked.
I can print to a PDF file.
I tried the printer from Firefox, command line lp <a text file> and via evince to print a PDF file. Nothing comes out of the printer and jobs appear to complete successfully. CUPS accepts a print a test page and it thinks it is done but still no pages being printed.

What do I need to do to help with re-mediating this unfortunate situation.
