I found that the message "\"%s\" is not a valid printer name." comes
from the cups-pk-helper function _cph_cups_is_printer_name_valid
(cups-pk-helper-0.2.3/src/cups.c:397).
The printer name is validated by the function
_cph_cups_is_printer_name_valid_internal
(cups-pk-helper-0.2.3/src/cups.c:327), which doesn't allow dash.
However, printers added through the CUPS web interface or
system-config-printer have dash in their default names. The function
refuses names that cups actually allows.
I build a cups-pk-helper package with the following patch applied and it
fixes the bugs I experienced:
--- cups-pk-helper-0.2.3.orig/src/cups.c
+++ cups-pk-helper-0.2.3/src/cups.c
