yes, the screen shot looks familiar. I have seen it 10+ times today. Ubuntu 13.10 Printer is on the network ... Canon PIXMA MX880 driver is selected and the install just hangs there, forever.
I also tried downloading and installed the gutenprint printer driver itself at the terminal which worked just fine. Then I ran the sudo apt- get update and sudo apt-get upgrade to get the latest system-config- printer (I saw somewhere it was updated last week sometime.) No joy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248303 Title: Regression: cannot install driver for Canon MP160 Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “system-config-printer” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Installing driver for Canon MP160 has worked perfectly from 12.04 to 13.04, but not anymore in 13.10.
