Why then, with the same printer, connected to the same laptop,
running Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04, does the printer work? Something
changed between the Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 release and Kubuntu
Karmic 9.10, either with the main OS or with something in KDE. My
printer issue appeared in Karmic and continues in Lucid.
I'd be more than happy to boot into Jaunty and run the same five
commands and post the results for you.
