I've gotten around the bug by: * Shutting down cups service * Deleting * /etc/cups/printers.conf* * /etc/cups/classes.conf* * /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf* * Rebooting * Adding printer using the "Additional Printer Settings" button rather than the "Add" button on initial screen
All three sets of deleted files were auto-created again, and no crash dialog appeared. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups-pk-helper in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1118323 Title: cups-pk-helper-mechanism crashed with signal 5 in g_variant_new_va() Status in cups-pk-helper package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ao tentar adicionar uma impressora, o sistema retorna uma mensagem de erro.
