I'm having a similar problem and I feel like I'm getting so close. I just upgraded my Xubuntu distro from Dapper to Edgy last night with a surprisingly smooth transition despite what I saw in Bug #68027. One of the main reasons for doing so was due to the pain I had getting CUPS to work and reading that a print config was added. Still, I tried to print a test page from the utility and the bug report popped up. I didn't submit right away cause I wanted to look into it some more. Is it necessary to see this report? If so, is it stored anywhere? Sorry, still new to this and I couldn't find a Help/FAQ.

Anyhow, I tried the above Python one-liner and first got a segfault which created a new unrelated bug report. I just upgraded Python and got the following:

PYCUPS_DEBUG=1 python -c 'import cups; cups.Connection().printTestPage("HL1440")'
-> Connection_init()
<- Connection_init() = 0

I don't know what to make of this, but if it helps to know my system at all, I'm using a Toshiba Satellite 2805-S603 connected to a Brother HL-1440 by USB.
