Tim, your a God send! You're recommendation worked!! I have my printer again!!!

I set it up in CUPS as follows:

Administration > Add Printer > Local Printer > HP Printer (HPLIP) > Connection: parallel:/dev/usb/lp0

Gave it a name, description, and location and then selected the Printer and model and selected the driver to use, in my case, Panasonic KX-P4410 Foomatic/ljet2p (recommended).

Did a test print. Works great!

Set it as the default printer in Kubuntu (it doesn't get set by default there).

I've been without my printer since the installing Kubuntu Karmic 9.10. I kept Karmic Jaunty 9.04 largely because it had a working printer.

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!! You've helped to make my new system complete.
