On a class B network, setting up a printer with Gnome is very
cumbersome. In the time I was waiting for scanning, I managed to do the
following:
sudo apt-get install kdeprint
kprinter
Click magic wand icon, set up new printer.
Kde's printing dialogs are much more intuitive, much faster, and do
offer scanning as an option. The printer will still list and be
configurable in gnome once you have it set up.
As I'm typing this, the scanning dialog is still floating above Firefox,
and I'm going to xkill the app.
I'm not bashing gnome's efforts, (I prefer gnome at work) but if you
need a printer set up in a timely fashion in a large business, this is a
great alternative.
