I have an HP3050 and it works just fine. It shows the correct printer in
the HP list
and just works. I am using 10.04 and I think 10.10 on the system
upstairs that is
Ubuntu also. A question though. Is this printer connected to the Ubuntu
system?
Mine is connect to my XP system and print and file sharing is enabled
there.
I would expect that if yours is connected direct to the system it would
see it
faster. The HP3050 is an old enough printer the drivers should be available.
I did have to go the HP site to get the driver for the XP system though.
