Not much to go on here. You don't mention how you set it up, nor what
your specific problem is (of course I just might be dense). I'm assuming
you are printing via JetDirect? If it were me, I would type the
following at a shell prompt:

user at ubuntu:~$ sudo lpadmin -p HP-LJ-5si -E -v socket://192.168.0.11:9100 -m \
> linuxprinting.org-gs-builtin/HP/HP-LaserJet_5Si-Postscript.ppd -u allow:all


All the ingredients are already there on a standard dapper install, I
shouldn't be too much trouble to get it working.
