I have a printer shared with some computers over ethernet using a d-link printserver using a LPD protocol. To install it on my computer I go in gnome-control-center, then printers, and finally add new printer. It opens a window in which I should see it recognized my printer connected and it should be ready to install it, but the only thing I see in the window i the "no printers detected" message. I'm sure the printer is connected because older Ubuntu version (i.e. 12.04) can recognize and install it. So I tried running system-config-printer from the command line and I saw the old printers window, the one I usually see in Ubuntu 12.04. Clicking "add" from that window the printer is recognized and i can install it. So, for now I found a workaround, but I wonder how should a newbie do in order to install a LPD printer? If the printer section in gnome-control-center lacks some type of printer configuration/recoognization shouldn't be better to reintroduce the old ugly but functional printer window instead of this nice but not functional and confusing window?
