Ubuntu 11.10 has reached End of Life and is no longer supported. You
really need to upgrade to at least Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. If you don't like
upgrading often, you should probably stick to the LTS releases. If you
are a GNOME Shell user, Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 will give you the best
experience – but you'll have to upgrade about twice a year if you
aren't using the LTS releases.

This isn't really the right place for printing support. I don't know;
perhaps askubuntu.com would be a better place to find answers to
questions like this.
