My printer at office is HP LaserJet 3055 and I have already added to Ubuntu Dapper for so long. It worked just well. Today I would like to print the first page after upgraded to Edgy. The result page is incorrect since it only printed the cropped page. Note that I printed a pdf through evince. I guessed that the problem should be incorrect driver due to upgrading last night so I just simply removed it and added a new one. Unfortunately, I was unable to add a new printer anymore. So I started gnome-cups-add on a shell prompt. Below is what I get.

** (gnome-cups-add:17835): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1280

So I started looking for someone get the same error message and I found a thread discussed about this. In summary, this seems to be a known bug and it is still there. For interim solution, don't use the suggested driver. In my case, gnome-cups-add suggested to use Postscript driver. Don't use it. I just changed the driver to hpijs and it works right now.
