Scott, you will most probably need both the kernel update (3.0.0-13) and the CUPS update. Probably you will not be able to apply a kernel update on a live CD, but the development branch (Precise) contains the two fixes already out of the box, so if you download and boot a daily live CD of Precise your printer should work, but note that Precise is a development branch and therefore there can be daily live CDs which do not boot correctly. So do not worry if a Precise live CD does not work at all for you.
