Has anyone managed to print out of the box?

Hi List

I am wondering if anyone has managed to print out of the box with
ubuntu. I have a HP DeskJet 690C color printer, the printer was
detected ok and i even created a printer entry using the gnome printer
configuration. However when sending jobs to the printer it only
appears on the job list and never get printed, not gives any error
messages - until the next reboot in which case the print job is gone.

I am interested in sorting this out, any comment is welcomed.
