Bobby,

This won't help, but may make you feel a little better.  I also upgraded 
my desktop to Ubuntu 10.04 and left the remote print server on 9.04. 
After the upgrade, I had printing problems with ODT and PDF files, 
although some newly created files would print to my hplj4.  I killed a 
lot of time trying to figure out what the problem was, but finally had 
to attach the printer to my desktop.  I think the problem is somewhere 
in the network printing daemons.

Not an ideal solution, but until I get all the machines upgraded to 
10.04 LTS, I've wasted enough time on it.

Sorry I couldn't be of further help,
