Same issue here, trying to add my network printer in raring. I get the following output from g-c-c.
(gnome-control-center:12599): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: "Stylus- Photo-TX700W" is not a valid printer name. (gnome-control-center:12599): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: Installation of the new printer failed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1091377 Title: No obvious way to add network printer with gnome-control-center printers applet Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: With a fresh install of 12.10 (after successfully using 12.04 on another partition of the same machine) I found I could not add my network printer (on a synology ds211j). I went to System Settings>Printers and while the correct printer had been identified, it was identified as a local printer. In trying to add another (click +), there was no option to add a network printer. The search panel was not any obvious use: what 'address' is needed? I tried the nas server name, to which the printer is attached, but nothing came up. (see attached screen-grab: the printer was attached and on...) In the end I had to use the system-config-printer applet and successfully added the network printer, which showed up in the control centre applet afterwards but the location is '--'. The system- config-printer applet was simple and straightforward to use, mainly because it identified the network printer immediately. If this is not technically a bug it presents a serious gap between what the control centre application might reasonably be expected to do and what it is able to do in a straight forward way.
