Hello: This bug is actually the same that the one for fedora in here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883401 (which I think @Tim knows as he has done some interactions)
Nevertheless, several tries do not actually fix it: https://launchpad.net/~bencer/+archive/desktop-bugfixes -> this ppa version of gnome-settings daemon implements the blacklist method that was implemented in fedora bug, but as a difference to fedora patch, it for some reason is not notifying when the printer is not reachable for some reason. So, it solves the "ERROR: connecting to printer" but it is not a valid solution as the user is not being notified of actual issues with the printer . I have as well tried converting rpm from fedora to deb with alien, and installing it, but in such case I do not get any notification at all (not even that the document is sent to the printer) Perhaps the issue then relies in any other package but I'm not sure in which if them it might be ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #883401 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883401 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202198 Title: gnome-settings daemon notifies as error an info message Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When sending a document to a printer, gnome-settings daemon will show a message like: ERROR: connecting to printer Nevertheless, the document will print without any issue. Actually this message is a warning or info message, as it is telling the user that it is connecting to the printer. This leads to users sending twice or more any document as they think an issue has happened.
