I just thought I would share my joy with you all.
I have only ever installed printers under Windows and haven't owned a home printer since switching to Ubuntu 2 years ago.
A mate at work gave me his old printer today so I brought it home and plugged it in. As soon as I hooked up the USB it said "Checking Printer Database" then said "Is this a HP Desjet 940c?"
I said "Yes"
Then it said "Is this printer networked or local?"
"Local" I replied.
That was it. It just works now. I remember installing under Windows being a bit of a mission with disks and driver installs and restarts etc.
I get more impressed by Ubuntu every day. :)
