Trying to add the printer via Firefox (http://localhost:631/) does not get you any further. It finds the printer but fails at the last step with "Unable to copy PPD file!".
On the plus side, I am able to add my Canon Pixma iP3000 (also attached via USB) quite happily. This seems to involve downloading the PPD file from somewhere instead ... -- server-error-internal-error while adding printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254202 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
