Greetings.

I've been reading some threads and didn't find a solution for my problem, so i decided to create a new one.

I got a HP Deskjet 720C Printer. It was working ok until i updated to Ubuntu 10.04 (from 9.10) x64.

CUPS test page (the big Ubuntu logo) prints fine, but trying to print from anywere else in the system (firefox, openoffice, document viewer, etc) only prints a blank page.

Usually all threads about this says the same thing: "go get the drivers from HP", "you don't have colour ink", etc. Well, i've checked all those common problems without luck. I can also add that my printer just spits out the blank page without any other activity in the middle: i mean, there's no header movement, as if i were actually sending a blank page to the printer (so, it's not the case of a printer working without ink).

I've changed no configuration to get this problem, and updating to lucid (via updater) was the only change.

Any clues? known CUPS version problem?

Thanks in advance
