It may be CUPS.
Sometimes I need to change the printer driver, but only when a variety 
of methods do not print. In general, Gutenprint drivers seem more 
serviceable, but even there you have a list of choices.

Most likely, this problem you describe on Ubuntu will be fixed by an 
Alternative Printer Command, like

lpr -Pyourprinter

since this works on Fedora, seemingly without exception. I have a laptop 
I carry around and use whatever printer I can find, including older and 
newer inkjets/laserjets, and so far workarounds are of minimal 
inconvenience.

The only problem I have seen with Windows is that when I print at work 
with a network printer, I have to make sure that I don't have a frame 
selected, or else the page prints with only that selected frame. It's 
clearly a phenomenon with the network, since a local printer doesn't 
have the issue.
