Was running the LTS version of Ubuntu 10.04. Under the default settings it
would not pull down the latest version of hplips.

Looking back I had many examples of what was going wrong: but turning the
printer on and off seemed to fix it. One day it just stopped. After much
swearing: upgraded the printer driver (had to download it from the hp
website and run the installation as sudo).

I promised I would install the next long term release of ubuntu, although I
am tempted to go debian / gnome
