Bug#696241: gnome-control-center fails to add printer, says "HP-Color-LaserJet-CP1515n" is not a valid printer name.

[Alexander Kurtz]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.4.2+git20121016.29d7c0-1
Cups-Version: 1.5.3-2.10
Severity: normal

Hi,

gnome-control-center fails to add my network printer. After finishing
the configuration wizard, I'm getting the following error message (see
also the attached screenshot):

	Failed to add new printer.

Here's the relevant part of the ~/.xsession-errors file:

	(gnome-control-center:16609): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: Install system-config-printer which provides DBus method "GroupPhysicalDevices" to group duplicates in device list.

	(gnome-control-center:16609): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: You should install system-config-printer which provides DBus method "GetBestDrivers". Using fallback solution for now.

	(gnome-control-center:16609): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: "HP-Color-LaserJet-CP1515n" is not a valid printer name.

And here's the relevant part of the /var/log/cups/access_log file:

	localhost - - [18/Dec/2012:12:33:12 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 188 Renew-Subscription client-error-not-found

	localhost - - [18/Dec/2012:12:33:37 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 157 Cancel-Subscription client-error-not-found

Please note that I did try installing "system-config-printer", but that
didn't help (it didn't even fix the warnings). Adding a printer this way
has worked before with wheezy and GNOME 3.4, but now that I'm using (a
fully updated) sid installation it apparently doesn't anymore.

Please tell me if you need more information to reproduce or debug this!

Best regards
