@dr Gutenprint drivers are not CUPS drivers. In fact, that's part of what is wrong with many systems that have gutenprint installed--they insist on pretending that Gutenprint is just an oddly named CUPS PPD.
I would argue in fact that the reason we have problems like this is that we can't just say "Hey Mr. Configuration tool, talk to the thingy with the hardware ID <blargh!>" I'd have a working printer (again) by now if I could do that. Problems like this (which I cannot just fix myself) are really starting to make me hate ubuntu with a passion only rivaled by my dislike of PERCRaid controllers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256832 Title: Canon Selphy CP510 not recognised by CUPS Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The USB Canon photo printer CP510 is not recognised by CUPS any more.

My Brother laser printer was recognised by CUPS immediately and works perfect on that system. On an older linux installation with CUPS 1.5.4-22 the CP510 printer works without problems.
