I have un-installed and re-installed cups. I used the add printer
feature from the menu items under my name. It comes up with various
items that can be changed and printer is one of them. It is locked so I
unlocked it with the root password. I went through all the steps and at
the very end it says 'printer could not be added'. I then tried from
the main menu under system tools and it did the same thing. When I plug
the printer in before a message would pop up and ask if you wanted to
install it, now there is nothing.

I upgraded Wheezy to the latest version 7.8.0. Actually I had to
reinstall it since the keyboard and mouse quite working and I was
unable to log in even in recovery. Anyway, I got it back up and
running and I tried to use my printer. I have a cheapy HP 1000 and
it worked fine before.
When I try to add it the software comes up with the right model and
then when I try to add it it gives the message that it cannot add
it. I have tried it several times and checked that the software for
HP is installed and it is there. Is there a problem with cups? or
is it me.
The problem is probably neither you nor cups. How are you trying to
install the printer and which software is it you refer to?
