First, can you run the commands

cd /usr/share/system-config-printer
python newprinter.py --setup-printer='file:/tmp/printout' 
--devid='MFG:Brother;MDL:DCP-330C;' 2>&1 | tee log.txt

in a terminal window and attach log.txt to this bug rewport? Please do
not compress log.txt.

Please also run this command line

install-printerdriver openprinting-gutenprint 'deb
http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/debian/ lsb3.2 contrib'
F8897B6F00075648E248B7EC24CBF5474CFD1E2F 2>&1 | tee log2.txt

Does it install the "openprinting-gutenprint" and does the output end
with "done"? Can you attach log2.txt, also uncompressed?

Before each of these tests uninstall "openprinting-gutenprint" with

sudo dpkg -P openprinting-gutenprint
