Public bug reported: It appears to be impossible to add a printer by FQDN/hostname/IP using the Gnome printer settings panel's "Add Printer" option.
Whether I type in anything in the "address" box or not, the same long list of printer models appears in the list above, and one of those (that does not correspond to the hostname specified) is added if I press "add". It is absolutely essential that it be possible to add a printer by FQDN; we have enough devices on the LAN that it is impossible to tell which autodiscovered printer is which. Workaround is to use the CUPS web interface at http://localhost:631 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu19 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-26.42-generic 3.5.7.6 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-26-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu10 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Mar 22 13:18:54 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-03-15 (6 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_gnome-control-center: activity-log-manager-control-center 0.9.4-0ubuntu4.2 deja-dup 24.0-0ubuntu2 gnome-control-center-signon 0.0.18-0ubuntu1 indicator-datetime 12.10.2-0ubuntu3.1 ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug quantal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158584 Title: Printer setup dialog unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1158584/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
