[SOLVED] Cups/gutenprint broken since last update

I can detect my printer (at least I see it when I click 'find printers' in cups), but I can not add the printer.

cups log shows the following error:
E [04/Feb/2016:21:56:22 +0100] [cups-deviced] PID 29752 (gutenprint52+usb) stopped with status 1!

I tried reinstalling cups and gutenprint, but no use.

My printer is a canon PIXMA MG5550 and till a few days ago I successfully used the canon-pixma-mg5500-complete package.
(though I don't have the impression this is the problem, cause if I uninstall it and try to use the standard (gutenprint?) driver it also fails)

any idea's are welcome !! thank you for reading, many thx for answering

Problem seemed to be gutenprint, got it working again with the following steps (not sure all are necessary).

* delete cups and gutenprint
* delete cups configuration directory (/etc/cups)
* reinstall cups + configure printer

If I add gutenprint to the equation again, cups locks up on add printer.

Bizar. But currently I can do without gutenprint

I had the very same problem with my Samsung ML-1610. I did as you did: deleted everything and reinstalled it and then it worked.

Thank you very much.
