Printer, again!

I look like a perfect fool, and I'm a little unhappy right now. A 
non-profit had some marginal computers. The Windows installations are 
.... well... messed up. I volunteered to help, and made dual-boot 
Kubuntu systems of them.

The non-profit loved Kubuntu. Worked flawlessly, but they didn't mention 
the need for printers. They've got a shared SMB hpLaserJet3030. I found 
the printer in system settings, but got "Unable to load the requested 
driver: Unable to create the Foomatic driver [name of driver]. Either 
that driver does not exist, or you don't have the required permissions 
to perform that operation." for both suggested drivers.

I went to localhost:631, and was prompted for a password....aaarrrgh. I 
promised to come back tomorrow early and get them going. HELP!
