My checking results with Live media:

lubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-i386.iso        No CUPS present

And for my surprise, lubuntu-15.10-alternate-i386.iso fits into a 700M
CD, but not any lubuntu-16.04-alternate-*.iso

Hi.  I just want everyone to know that my new clean install of lubuntu
16.04.1 did not seem to have CUPS.  I had to:
sudo apt-get install cups
which I've never had to do before.

After executing the above command, system-config-printer was able to
detect my epson printer.  Otherwise the "+ Add" button in
system-config-printer was greyed out.

I wonder if anyone else' installation of 16.04.1 was lacking CUPS.

Ciao


You are absolutely right.

I checked two test systems that were clean-installs of 16.04 (rather than upgrades from 15.10 or 14.04), and found that the ability to add printers was grayed-out (not available) on those systems. That ability was still there on a xubuntu partition on one of the same machines.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. A bug-report needs to be created for this (in my opinion).

I will specify that the bug affects me too, if I am made aware of the actual bug report.

I would probably file the bug report (in a terminal) using the following command:

ubuntu-bug ubiquity

I'm not sure if cups is the right package, or if the live system installer ubiquity is the best package to name.

I would just do the bug report myself, but I'm not on one of those machines (having the problem) now, and they're very slow machines.
