This bug was fixed in the package system-config-printer -
1.5.1+20141010-0ubuntu2.2
---------------
system-config-printer (1.5.1+20141010-0ubuntu2.2) utopic-proposed;
urgency=medium
* debian/patches/70_package-download-fixes.patch: Fixed several bugs to
make automatic printer driver download working again (LP: #1401835):
o Use pyrequests instead of pycurl for secure (verified certificate)
downloads. pycurl stopped working after the OpenPrinting web server
has moved from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 (LP: #1394244).
o In the install-printerdriver script improved the check for the
necessity of adding the driver's Debian repository and added a
workaround for a bug in aptdaemon interpreting PackageKit's package
IDs wrongly when installing a package (LP: #1397750).
o In fillDriverList() use ".hasattr()" to check presence of
attributes.
o Python3 transition bugs
* debian/patches/73_support-non-utf-8-encoded-ppds.patch: Do not
crash on non-UTF-8-encoded PPD files (LP: #1400232)
* debian/control: Depend on python-requests instead of on python-pycurl.
