I uninstalled all printers and removed them from the computer (USB).
I rebooted.
I connected my HP Deskjet 5940 to the USB.
After a few seconds I was given the tip that the printer was found and 
installed.
It had been recognised by both the System/Administration/Printing tool and the 
HPLIP Toolbox, having the URI that was not working previously (i.e. 
hp:/usb/Deskjet....), BUT
It worked flaulessly!...

Job is done and it really should have been done. Bug seems to be fixed.
I will inform friends of mine who are also beta-testing Gutsy and had
the same problem.

My only thought now, is why jobs are compiled continuously to the
printer... I mean whatever I send for printing takes a job-number ever
increasing (for instance I send a test page and it is printed as job...
45), but I cannot find how I reset the counting. If it is something
worth considering, let us now please.

Thanks for the fix! It was important for the upcoming release of Ubuntu.
