Public bug reported:

I attempted to use Gnome-Control-Center to install a USB-attached Canon
MP280 printer and it failed.

I then proceeded to install the .deb packages using gdebi which were
hidden inside the tar.gz package from http://support-
nz.canon.co.nz/contents/NZ/EN/0100301402.html [incidentally the
./install.sh logic inside the tar.gz aiming to automate this process
fails now that both rpm and deb are installed on Ubuntu - violating it's
implicit assumptions].

I'm not sure if the MP280 driver was even needed, as I believe the same
error was delivered by gnome-control-center before and after installing
this package. The error from the console reads...

(gnome-control-center:21465): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: Installation
of the new printer failed.

However, I was disappointed to find that logging in to CUPS
(localhost:631) and installing the printer that way worked first time.
There's some kind of issue with gnome-control-center not being able to
add the appropriate CUPS printer driver and it's impossible to tell what
because of the terrible error reporting it provides (hiding the
originating issue).
