Your first question:  I hate to say it, but it works okay here, Color
Laserjet 5500, on port 9100, using the postscript driver.

Your second question:  In gnome there should be a printer icon in the
Panel Notification Area in the upper right corner, near the clock.  It
will blink when you start printing, and will "gray out" when the job is
finished.  Clicking on that icon should show a window with the printer
status.
