Hi guys,
I've never been able to install my printer (connected to my router)
with Gnome 3 (all versions). Instead I use system-config-printer which
works well. Once added with this utility, your printer will appear
also in the Gnome printer applet.

Hello friends.
Hello Jason,
Thank you for your email :)
I installed Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 on my desktop, along with the
next and staging PPAs. I'm fully up to date. I had problems
installing both of my network printers (Epson Workforce 435,
which is actually via USB, and HP Laserjet 2100n via ethernet
on LAN) early on but I just ignored it as 13.10 was literally
out of the gate. I had a short affair with another distro that
left me longing for Ubuntu GNOME, so I came back. I did a
fresh install and all of the updates and whatnot annnnd...
still having this problem.
I would never even bother to look at another distribution just
because of a Printer Issue but that is me :)
We will do our best to help, no worries :)
What happens is, I click on the depressed-looking printer GUI
and let it scan for printers. It comes up with both. I click
on the printer I want and it says "installing", but a full
second later it disappears and simply says "Failed to add new
printer."
Not 100% sure if this is related but could you please have a look
at this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1133794
Let me know if the workaround posted will help you or not.
Before I fired out a bug report I wanted to scan the grounds
and see what you guys are running into. Anybody running into this?
Yes, no problem, this is good idea to check before reporting a bug :)
Side note - Both printers install and function 100% if added
via CUPS web interface @ localhost:631.
Indeed, this is what I personally do whenever I want to deal with
Printer Installation :) I feel that I have more control over an
GUI application :)
Thanks for your time and contributions!

Thank you and most welcome :)

I've been installing printers by using http:localhost:631 since ancient
days.
