Jussi, thank you very much. I have discovered the following problems:
1. Infinite loop in system-config-printer. I have prepared a patch and will soon make it available. 2. Your printer's ID does not match the ID in the current Gutenprint driver which comes with Ubuntu, leading system=config-printer to search on the OpenPrinting web site. 3. A bug on the OpenPrinting web site makes an old version of Gutenprint being downloaded. This version does not actually support your printer. Can you please tell which model name for your printer is written onto the printer itself, its packaging, and/or its manual? Is it something like "Canon Pixma MP160", "Canon MultiPass MP160", or simply "Canon MP160"? You should be able to make your printer working by clicking "Cancel" when you get offered a driver download and then manually assign the make/model/driver "Canon PIXMA MP160 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9" to it. Can you try that and tell whether this solves your problem? -- 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
