I have an HP LaserJet 4P and and HP 950 PSC both attached to a Windows XP box on my home network. I had no trouble adding them to Ubuntu 6.06. It was easy and both work just fine.
However, under Kubuntu 6.06 after identifying the printer (either one) and selecting the driver, I am told that either the driver does not exist or I do not have permission to do the operation. Going into adept it appears the drivers are installed and I did use the administrator mode for the wizard to add a printer.
The wierdest part is I tried using the wrong driver (under the hewlett-packard printer list rather than the HP list which is wierd in itself) and the install worked although the printer printed garbage (like sending postscript to a non-postscript printer).
Any ideas why this is so different for Kubuntu or how I can make them work for Kubuntu?
