this problem related to installing the hp laserjet p1006 in karmic. i tried till's last instructions.. and it created a cups version
of the printer... that works.... this has been a somewhat frustrating problem dealing with printers in karmic. I had to give up on using a lexmark all in one x73 because i'm pretty sure there is no way to get it to print from ubuntu.
so I picked up the laserjet on sale, because it was recommended both on the ubuntu forums and in the recommended hardware list. much banging of head on desk when it didn't work either. fixing took probably about 5 hours of research, looking trying.. I appreciate the community support.. and i'm making a commitment to using ubuntu for my family daily computing system.. if i was a casual non commited user.. i'd probably have given up.. ...

thanks again for the help Till!
