Public bug reported: I cannot add a printer in 12.04 at all.
When I select the "Printers" in the system settings, the button "Add New Printer" is just grayed out. What I expect: that the button is active. system-config-printer-gnome: Installed: 1.3.8+20120201-0ubuntu8 Candidate: 1.3.8+20120201-0ubuntu8 Version table: *** 1.3.8+20120201-0ubuntu8 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Please let me know if you need further information.
