As system-config-printer works, it must be a bug in the GNOME printer setup tool.

I have informed him now. -- 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/1101213 Title: G-c-c printing doesn't allow you to select a hp printer Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Starting G-c-c from the trerminal I managed to get the following error trying to connect via wifi to my printer (this works flawlessly in quantal) davmor2@stryder:~$ gnome-control-center (gnome-control-center:9145): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: "Photosmart-5520-series" is not a valid printer name.
