HP Laserjet 1020 gets detected but doesn't work.

I have gotten the printer to work on a Kubuntu dapper desktop if I recall correctly, but I can't seem to get it to work when I connect it to my thinkpad running Kubuntu Edgy which I would have thought it should.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to System settings/printers and add printer
2. The printer is detected correctly as an USB printer which gives me an URI: usb://HP/LaserJet%201020
However, the printer is also detected as "Others" which provides this URI: hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1020?serial=FN0BQAS
I've tried both URI's with the same result.
3. Try to print test page or something else.
4. CUPS reports that print job has been completed succesfully, but nothing ever reaches the printer.
