Do you have an older HP printer? Pretty much all recent ones are
covered by HPLIP - http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html
It's in the hplip package in Ubuntu, and hplip-gui gives you a status
screen/control panel (for ink levels, default settings etc).

I've stuck with HP printers over the years as they've generally been
well supported in Linux; other than the old win-printers, that is.
