Printers in Ubuntu 9.04

So there's some more good news, ok so it's not all due to 9.04 but it's nice that I've found it all at the same time. Coincidence, kismet, both are fine by me :) In short, check out this url for a simple mechanism to get Ricoh Aficio printing even if you're using usercodes. The HP LaserJet 1018 works out of the box (autodetected). If it doesn't print after it's just been installed, don't panic, simply unplug the usb cable and reconnect after a moment. It'll start working after that - no idea why. If you're not on 9.04 and you can't get your HP printer working, try typing hp-setup at a prompt. If that doesn't work, check out this url - but most likely it's time for a newer version of linux.
