Massive frustration with Ubuntu 8.1 & 7.1 with my HP LaserJet 1020. Sometimes it will work for months and then I have to fiddle for a long time, installing, uninstalling, downloading drivers--foo2zjs and HPLIP for instance--now can't get it to work at all--works in XP which I am going to leave today when my cd with 8.01 comes with the book Beginning Ubuntu Linux by Thomas, 3rd ed. 

I'm ready to buy a new printer and asking for recommendation. BTW, the Ubuntu forums are full of complaints and fixes on this printer, most of which I've tried.
