@Gunnar. In the desktop help we now cover adding a network printer (the
update planned for 17.04) but we don't cover the seven options below
"Find Network Printer" in the New Printer dialog box. I don't understand
what they do so I can't write them up. Can we mark this bug FIX

Hi Chris,
I went through your updated instructions. I deleted and reinstalled
printers on Ubuntu 16.04 system.
The updated instructions work fine, thanks! Following the procedure the
printer still has the Device URI error issue (character string). But
following your last bit below a user will qui
Hi Pete, I've done a new draft (link below). Could you check the draft
again?
I added a step (step 8) about choosing a driver and installing it. I
also added a brief note/warning about the "Device URI" problem. I think
the warning applies to people who haven't followed the procedure, since

Hi Pete, thanks for testing the updated instructions and thanks for the
pdf file. I find it useful to see the screenshots (I'm not able to try
the instructions out myself). I'll have a think about what to do and get
back to you (probably later this week). Regards, Chris.

Hi Chris,
I just tested the updated instructions tonight on another Ubuntu 16.04
system.
Your instructions on 17.04 appear correct and work for 16.04. But this
is assuming the printer Device URI is created correctly. If it doesn't

I've been trying to follow and test this stuff. It turns out that Epson
does not provide drivers for linux, so I am trying to install an
OpenPrinting.org driver that I found. It depends on the lsb package,
which refuses to install on my 16.10 test LapTop due to dependency

Hi Pete, yes many thanks for reviewing the first procedure on the page.
Here's a new draft. Is that OK now?

Thank you very much for your input, Pete. Leaving to Chris to consider
it further.
The issue with the automatically assigned device URI reminds me of bug
#1320381 which I filed a couple of years ago. That was also a Brother
printer, but connected via an USB port. Can't help wondering if Brother

I apologize in my delay in replying. I tested the printer instructions
you provided under Ubuntu 16.04.
In the beginning of the instructions for 16.04 it says:
“You do not need to select whether you want to install network or local
printer now. They are listed in one window.”
I actually have to
Sure will test the procedure out on the network printers / computers on
our network with Ubuntu and reply back. Thanks!
