Happens with Ubuntu 11.04. On my eeepc, once the printer was detected, a pop-up warns about some proprietary plugin that needs to be installed, and after the plugin installation, everything is working fine.
But on another PC, where the printer was installed prior to the dist upgrade, HP P1005 is detected, print jobs are sent to the queue, bu when the job is cleared, nothing is printed.
I tried installing some optionnal hp* packages, and then I printed 1 test page and 1 web page. I seemed magical. Then I tried the 2nd "print test page button" in the printer settings (the one that is tooltiped "show ink/tonner level etc.") : the printer didn't react. And the bug was here again.

I'll try a fresh new Natty install later just in case the bugs is showing on upgraded PC only.
