Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-cups-manager
I tried to add a printer using the menus System/Administration/Printing but it failed time after time. I checked out a number of things and finally I ran the gnome-cupsys-add manually and the same thing happend but I saw that the application asked for a password on the terminal(!) not through the normal dialog. Aha, so I entered my password to the application. Same thing happens. So I tried to run the application with sudo. Sucess!! My Epson Photo R300 printer is now fully functional from Firefox at least. ** Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Sudo password dialog doesn't appear trying to install printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/62513 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
