Public bug reported: User yetanotherbryan from Ubuntu Forums has reported on this since May 2020, and I've also experience this bug this week when I upgraded to 20.04.
Unable to Change Printer Driver in Ubuntu 20.04 (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2444046) I'm trying to get my printer setup on a fresh install of 20.04. In setttings, when I add my network printer (Samsung M287X), it is found and installs a default driver. I am able to print normally. I trying to swap out the printer driver ("Additional Printer Settings" > "Properties" > "Make and Model -Change") to install alternative drivers. This is necessary to enable some features such as two sided printing. When I click "Change" it attempts to search for drivers but comes unresponsive. This is something that I have done many times on previous versions of ubuntu. Anybody have an idea of what is happening here? Thanks, Bryan Included in this bug report is a screenshot of the bug itself. ** Affects: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Screenshot_2020-11-03_16-59-21.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1902858/+attachment/5431007/+files/Screenshot_2020-11-03_16-59-21.png ** Description changed: User yetanotherbryan from Ubuntu Forums has reported on this since May 2020, and I've also experience this bug this week when I upgraded to 20.04. - Unable to Change Printer Driver in Ubuntu 20.04 - (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2444046) + Unable to Change Printer Driver in Ubuntu 20.04 + (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2444046) + + I'm trying to get my printer setup on a fresh + install of 20.04.
