For me I get a correct setup if I had a printer named "Canon Pixma MP630" or "Canon Pixma MP160", but I can reproduce the problem described here if I try to set up a "Canon MP160". So if the printer identifies itself as "Canon MP160" and not as "Canon Pixma MP160", the current driver (Gutenprint) contains a wrong printer ID:
till@till:~$ lpinfo -m | grep -i MP160 gutenprint.5.2://bjc-MULTIPASS-MP160/expert Canon PIXMA MP160 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 [...] If there exist really two different printers, one "Canon MP160" and one "Canon Pixma MP160" only the latter is supported by current Gutenprint and the old Gutenprint version which is wrongly installed here has a bug. Jussi, can you remove the print queue(s) for your printer and then run system-config-printer --debug 2>&1 | tee log.txt in a terminal window. Try to set up your printer and when it gets stuck, please stop with Ctrl+C and attach the log.txt file here. Do not compress the file. ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248303 Title: Regression: installing gutenprint printer driver fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1248303/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
