I had wondered about printing too to be honest (many wrestling matches in past) but yes scanners. Shudder. (May investigate.) Thing is, is a newer version of Ubuntu any more stable? (12.04 1LTS is on offer.) And would I have to re-install the Gnome desktop? Bev.
TBH I don't know if the newer version would be more stable than the version you're using, but older versions may not be as well supported as newer ones, therefore, you may find your gnome experience improved. I've not used Ubuntu 12.04 except in brief transition to 12.10.
Gnome desktop may update itself correctly, but you might have to re-install if it goes wrong. Just to be clear - you'll end up with the new-style Gnome 3 desktop, not the old style Gnome 2, with a top and bottom toolbar. That is what you want isn't it?
