I would like to be able to print from my new Linux PC. I have an HP Deskjet 540c connected (via it's parallel printer port) to my PC running Ubuntu 7.04.
On the desktop I click on System -> Administration -> Printing.

What am I doing wrong?
I don't know if you're doing it wrong, or if there's a problem with some Ubuntu systems, but we couldn't get that desktop printer config tool working on one of our managed systems, so we pointed a web browser at http://localhost:631/ and configured printers that way.
I suspect it was a permissions problem, but once we'd got it working one way, I didn't care/have time enough to debug further yet.
Hope that helps,
