** Description changed:
after upgrade Ubuntu from 13.10 to 14.04
Add Printer Dialog is frozen, can not add a new Printer in
system-config-printer.
Steps:
1. Click Add Printer in system-config-printer
2. Wait until your network printer is showing
3. Klick the Printer Name in the Devices list.
4. Now Window "New Printer" is frozen.
On a new installation of Ubuntu 14.04 (32 Bit) is it working.
------------- Workaround ------------------------------------
1. Start GNOME 3 Desktop.
2. Add Printer in gnome-control-center.
3. Go back to Unity Desktop.
4. Now can you use the added Printer. (but add printer in Unity is still not
working.)
+
+
+ [Impact]
+
+ For certain non-HP printer models it is impossible to set up the printer
+ with system-config-printer.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ Have a non-HP network printer available on which the command
+
+ hp-makeuri -c [IP of the printer]
+
+ hangs (does not exit, requies Ctrl+C to get back to the prompt).
+
+ Set up as described above under "Steps". Current version of system-
+ config-printer freezes, the proposed fix allows setting up the printer.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ Very low. It is possible that a printer does not provide make/model info
+ and there hp-makeuri gets called anyway.
