I think that this is an (UI?) issue in system-config-printer, because I
was now able to install the driver like this:
1) Start system-config-printer from terminal (I didn't test otherwise)
2) Select your printer from the list once detected and start installing the
gutenprint driver
3) Hit CTRL-C (possible a couple of times) in the terminal when the "installing
gutenprint" dialog gets stuck, select Cancel for the crash report etc
4) Now a "New Printer" dialog opens in which you can select your printer
manufacturer and model
5) Choose your printer => Forward => Forward => Apply
The first crash again here:
-- clip --
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py", line 3678, in
on_tvNPDownloadableDrivers_cursor_changed
iter = model.get_iter (path)
-- clip --
These are the corresponding lines in the code:
-- clip --
selection = widget.get_selection ()
if selection == None:
return
model, iter = selection.get_selected ()
if not iter:
path, column = widget.get_cursor()
iter = model.get_iter (path)
-- clip --
So in our case widget.get_cursor() returns so that path is None.
I assume that this happens, because the code expects user data from the
"New Printer" dialog, which is not opened.
