Upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 and trying to get printing to work must be really frustrating for new Ubuntu users.

I had to deal with 2 bugs:

First was bug #595650 (error message: "Printer 'hp-LaserJet3030' may not be connected") related to package libusb. The fix listed worked for me.

Second was bug #554172 discussed here. Sometimes (but not always) after booting up the printer does not show up in System > Administration > Printing and I am unable to print. Starting CUPS manually by typing "sudo service cups start" in terminal solved the problem.
