I think cups 1.7.2-0ubuntu1.1 has trouble handling the '+' in the uri-scheme (system-config-printer doesn't accept it in the device-URI text field either), in a terminal: lpadmin -p cp400 -v 'gutenprint52+usb://Canon/SELPHY+CP400?serial=NONE_UNKNOWN&backend=canonselphy' lpadmin: Bad device-uri scheme "gutenprint52+usb".
1) Try setting up your printer in the cups webinterface: http://localhost:631/admin > Add Printer Is the gutenprint52+usb option listed there (your lpinfo -v info shows it)? 2) Probably the easiest workaround is to rename /usr/lib/cups/backend/gutenprint52+usb to just gutenprint52: In a terminal: sudo mv /usr/lib/cups/backend/gutenprint52+usb /usr/lib/cups/backend/gutenprint52usb lpinfo -v Does step 1 list the gutenprint52usb option now? Now it should also be possible to set up your printer with system-config-printer. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1342497 Title: Adding CP400 printer gives "client-error-not-possible" error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1342497/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
