I also have the same problem when adding a epson px720wd networkprinter. When i use controlpanel>add printer, the installation keeps hanging arond 50%.
I tried the suggestion made by Bruno Nova (brunonova) wrote on 2014-06-18: "However, I then removed the Epson driver, then the Epson repository and key (using Software & Updates) and refreshed the cache. Then I tried to install the printer again, this time by executing the system-config-printer command from the terminal" -- The installation succeeded. The scanner is also working. I also tried to install the printer on netrunner 14.04, via system- settings>add printer. the printer installed correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307917 Title: installing driver hangs indefinitely To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/+bug/1307917/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
