Lars Volker, and anyone else who observes a driver search on the internet when a local driver is available, in your case the problem is not the prioritization of locally installed drivers against drivers available on the Internet, but a problem of the fuzzy matching of the make/model information reported by the printer and the information supplied in the PPD files or drivers. Please report a new bug and report the bug number here. For the new bug report run the following commands in a terminal window and post all output here:
lpinfo -i -v If the printer is a network printer (Ethernet connector or WLAN) connect it via network and run /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/dnssd If the printer has a USB connector, connect it via USB and run sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 lsusb ls -l /dev/usb/lp* /dev/bus/usb/*/* Run also lpinfo -l -m > list and then attach the file "list". Do not compress it. -- system-config-printer: make driver installation optional https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564633 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
