I always recommend these:

HP Laserjet 1320. I got one for $15 at a thrift store a few years back. Very sturdy,...
Any basic Intel board with 4 memory slots and at least 2 regular PCI slots should work fine. You didn't mention what you'll be using for graphics, but most of the on-board Intel chips ought to work...
Have you tested the HDMI to DVI cable in Windows or in another computer, so you can rule that out? Have you tried using a different monitor to connect to so you can rule that out?
A little googling reveals to me that HD 4000 graphics can use a maximum of 1.7 GB of system RAM for onboard video. Have you tried going into your system bios and looking for a setting to change the...
You're fine, stop worrying. I have 4 GB of RAM in my notebook, and have never once seen RAM usage go above 1 GB. I'm not sure if you have the System Monitor applet installed, but if you do, this...
How old is the laptop? Which Ubuntu version are you using? Is it 32 or 64 bit?
The older HP printers work extremely well in Ubuntu. The newer ones, however, seem to have some serious quality issues and compatibility is limited in some cases, especially the all-in-one models.

If you can find a used HP 1320 Laserjet somewhere, these things are workhorses and work instantly on all versions of Ubuntu:

Looks like one of those all-in-one units. Not all of them are supported yet by HP, unfortunately.
Couple other things you can try, after you see if the drivers linked above work or not.
If it's PDF files that are printing really, try a couple of different PDF viewer programs, since PDF files...
I love the idea of being able to install Ubuntu once on an external hard drive, then being able to plug that external hard drive into any desktop or laptop and then being able to boot right up into...
The fact it's a multi-function unit reduces the chances it will be supported.
I just looked over the list of drivers for HP printers and didn't see your model listed, though a few of the...
The model of the HP scanner you're using would be helpful.
Install xsane either through Software Center, Synaptics or the terminal. Also install several of the scanning programs and try each of...
If the version you upgraded from was 10.10 or earlier, it makes perfect sense to me, since the backlight and suspend problems with the Intel 4500 graphics first appeared in 11.04 (and have still not...
Any chance that the modem itself is broken? Does it work in Windows?
These things used to be a huge PITA to get working in versions 9.10 and earlier, but since then they are normally a breeze to...
It's your Intel 4500 MHD graphics. It's a bug going way back to the introduction of version 11.04 in April 2011, and has still not been fixed.
...
Not sure I can help you beyond that then. Because all I do with my Virgin Mobile CDMA modem is plug it in, run the wizard, and after that, the modem automatically dials and connects and I'm online...
I have to ask, Mr. Wizard, did you use the "Wizard" to configure the device? :D
Because that's all you should need to do, assuming your provider is listed in the drop down menu. It will set the...
I think you're configuring it wrong.
A few seconds after you plug it in, you should get an entry under the network icon on the top right taskbar that says "New CDMA Connection". When you click on...
The best fix I know of is to download and install 10.04 LTS. You can do the workaround, but suspend and hibernate are still completely messed up, and you'll have to deal with that every 10 minutes...
It's much worse in other variants like Open Suse, because not as many people use it, so it takes much much longer to find a fix. I installed OpenSuse 12.1 yesterday on this machine, and had the exact...
In the same boat here, with Intel 4500 MHD graphics on my notebook.
About all you can do is go into System Settings / Brightness and Lock and set it so the screen never turns off when inactive. If...
Ran Boot Repair. It errored out and did nothing but waste 15-20 minutes of my day trying unsuccessfully to purge and reinstall GRUB. I could have formatted and re-installed in that amount of time.
...
Does not work in 12.04, at least for me. I can't get rid of the program now, have lost all my previous boot entires (Windows 7, 12.04) and can only boot into 12.04, even after the program is...
