IIRC, Ubuntu doesn't use (or stopped using) localhost:631. It has the 
Printing menu entry under Administration for configuring printers.

I have heard people saying they have heard stories of problems upgrading 
Ubuntu. When I used to run Fedora I found it was often safer to upgrade it 
by doing a fresh install. If updating from previous release it may be ok but 
if you were skipping a release upgrades tended to be more problematic.

I have had much better luck doing upgrades under Ubuntu. I haven't yet had 
to do a fresh install of Ubuntu to upgrade. The only problems I currently 
have are minor ones and might have been due to my removing all packages 
relating to Unity (in 11.04) then installing packages for Gnome 2 after 
booting 11.04 for the first time and quickly realizing I couldn't live with 
Unity.
