Hello Bernhard, Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with the system-config-printer package. You made this bug report in 2015 and Ubuntu and the system-config-printer package have been updated since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug? If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once): apport-collect 1529939 and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.

This is no longer the case in 15.10 -- I need to manually add it by entering bnjp://my.printers.ip.address. This bug is present both on Ubuntu and Ubuntu Gnome.
