I also have this problem with Epson printer drivers. There is something wrong with the repo id that it is passing to the python script. It is passing six (6) arguments when the script only takes three.
The third argument is the url, which is apparently wrong. The last three are irrelevant. Run the script with only two arguments, and it will work fine - there is logic for it. Commented version of the python script: https://fossies.org/dox/system-config-printer-1.4.4/install-printerdriver_8py_source.html Argument in question (remove this): http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/ 19 try: 20 repo_gpg_id = sys.argv[3] 21 except: 22 repo_gpg_id = None ------------------------------------------ As root, run: /usr/bin/python /usr/share/system-config-printer/install- printerdriver.py epson-inkjet-printer-escpr deb And then you can go back and add your printer like normal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307917 Title: installing driver hangs indefinitely To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/+bug/1307917/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
