I think that this is an (UI?) issue in system-config-printer, because I
was now able to install the driver like this:
1) Start system-config-printer from terminal (I didn't test otherwise)
2) Select your printer from the list once detected and start installing the
gutenprint driver
3) Hit CTRL-C (possible a couple of times) in the terminal when the "installing
gutenprint" dialog gets stuck, select Cancel for the crash report etc
4) Now a "New Printer" dialog opens in which you can select your printer
manufacturer and model
5) Choose your printer => Forward => Forward => Apply
The first crash again here:
-- clip --
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py", line 3678, in
on_tvNPDownloadableDrivers_cursor_changed
iter = model.get_iter (path)
-- clip --
These are the corresponding lines in the code:
-- clip --
selection = widget.get_selection ()
if selection == None:
return
model, iter = selection.get_selected ()
if not iter:
path, column = widget.get_cursor()
iter = model.get_iter (path)
-- clip --
So in our case widget.get_cursor() returns so that path is None.
I assume that this happens, because the code expects user data from the
"New Printer" dialog, which is not opened.

Bug description:
Installing driver for Canon MP160 has worked perfectly from 12.04 to
13.04, but not anymore in 13.10. The USB printer get detected
correctly, but when installing the driver via "New Printer" dialog,
