Wireless printer and system-config-printer

Cthulhu82 · 2013-05-17 15:09:08

Hello everyone.

I recently (and mistakenly) remove my wireless printer from Gnome printer list, and I cannot add it again any more. When I launch system-config-printer in the terminal, and try to add it, I can see it in the proposal, but cannon add it and obtain this output :

No ID match for device cnijnet:/88-87-17-14-28-F2:

My printer is a Canon MG 5250, using the Canon drivers (cnij-filters-5200) from AUR. There is no apparent problem of communication with the printer, as I can use the scanner properly.
I tried to recompile the drivers, in case a recent upgrade brokes them, but nothing changed.

Any help will be appreciated .

I kinda solved the problem by installing the printer with the cups web browser interface.
Everything work fine, but if I try to, system-config-printer is still broken.

I am tempted to report it as a bug, the only problem is I'm not sure if it is a system-config-printer bug or one from the dependancies, and I don't know what I can do to be certain…
