I have this bug as well.
I am running 12.04 and installed gnome-session-fallback package. I
encountered this bug when I was logged in to GNOME session and trying to
install a new JetDirect network printer via Control Center. After some
study, I found which discussed the issue, and offered a workaround to
install it via CUPS admin (http://localhost:631/). That worked fine. But
still, the same error comes whenever I tried to install the printer in
Control Center. The cause is a Fedora Gnome patch
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1828557&page=3
" I found a post on Linux Questions that points to a Fedora page and
also found a related patch for Gnome or Gnome Control Center, I'm too
tired to read through the whole thing but it looks relevant.
Edit: Went back and read the beginning of the patch, and yeah,it's a
Gnome patch and that's where this issue started. The way it looks to me
is that FirewallD is Fedora specific, and if that's the case, I'm not
sure why they thought adding a Fedora-specific requirement to a Desktop
Environment used by numerous other distros would be a good idea, but
obviously it is something that needs to be addressed. Sure FirewallD
could be ported to Ubuntu and other distros, but that doesn't really
address the issue of requiring a specific piece of software to be
installed and running in order to perform a certain and non-related
function.
Edit2: I wanted to add that you can still add the printer through
the control panel in Unity, but the Gnome version will require FirewallD
to add it. "
After reading this, I logged into Unity desktop and there this error
does not appear in Printers dialog in Control Center, and the printer
gets installed without problems.
