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.
Ubuntu 12.10
gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu8~ubuntu12.10.1
