When I try to open it, it opens with a delay and shows exactly the screen shown here Printer Add button not enabled in ubuntu 12.04.
It seems there is a problem with CUPS. Two more bits of input:
- Instead of "printing-localhost" my printers window opens with the title "printers-possidon.extra.cea.fr" which for some reason is stuck as the CUPS server "possidon.extra.cea.fr" this one is no longer relevant
I followd the instructions in Printer Add button not enabled in ubuntu 12.04 for the first point i got what seems to be the normal thing. For the second I got:
michele@michele-ThinkPad-Edge-E530:~$ ps -ef|grep cups | grep -v grep root 1056 1 0 03:24 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cups-browsed root 2592 1 0 03:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -f
so the 1st line seems suspicious Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
The context is I'm trying to install a new hp deskjet printer, and in the process I get errors related to cups, so that's another indication that the problem lies with CUPS
