Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu, very few (EPSON only I know) printer vendor supports automatic
driver download feature.
When I tried the feature with EPSON PX-503A in Oneiric and Precise, it worked
fine.
But I also tried my new Quantal system, s-c-p seems to found correct the
printer driver (see attached screenshot), but not installed when I press
"Forward" button; nothing happens and no driver package is downloaded or
installed.
Reproduce Process:
1. In s-c-p, click "add" button and select the network printer EPSON PX-503A.
2. Ubuntu says "looking for the drivers...," then attached screenshot is
appeared. It seems correct.
3. Press "Forward" button.
Expected Result:
- The found driver package will be downloaded and automatically
installed, then we can select the right PPD in s-c-p.
Current Result:
- Nothing happens, and s-c-p says select "Generic" PPD.
I'm not sure which module has a problem (s-c-p or ubuntu-driver), sorry if my
choose of the package is wrong.
