I found this problem as well in Trusty with all updates installed (Epson
printer too).
I also had problems installing my priinter in Saucy.
The problem really seems to be in the install-printerdriver.py script (and,
thus, system-config-printer source package).
The installation hangs at 50%.
Then I tried several more times. It hanged now at 0%.
Then I looked in the System Monitor and there were several
"install-printerdriver.py" processes (due to the several attempts).
I killed all those processes.
However, I then removed the Epson driver, then the Epson repository and key
(using Software & Updates) and refreshed the cache.
Then I tried to install the printer again, this time by executing the
system-config-printer command from the terminal (to check the output). And it
worked (!?).
I also tried running the install-printerdriver.py script before this, and it
wasn't hanging (the driver was still installed, though).
Was this a temporary problem?
Still, it shouldn't have hanged!
This should be "Confirmed" for system-config-printer, as the bug
reporter already answered the questions asked.
** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
