One remark, to test setup of an arbitrary printer which you do not actually have, set "FileDevice yes" in /etc/cups/cups-files.conf, restart CUPS and then run the commands:
cd /usr/share/system-config-printer/ python newprinter.py --setup-printer=file:/tmp/printout --devid='MFG:Canon;MDL:MP160;' Replace the terms after MFG: and MDL: by manufacturer and model of the desired printer. -- 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/1248303 Title: Regression: installing gutenprint printer driver fails Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “system-config-printer” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Installing driver for Canon MP160 has worked perfectly from 12.04 to 13.04, but not anymore in 13.10.
