BJNP Canon network printer no longer auto-detected

[Bernhard Reiter]

Up to Ubuntu 15.04, I only needed to install the cups-backend-bjnp package, and my (wifi-connected) Canon Pixma MG5250 would then show up automatically in the Add printers/Network printers dialog. This is no longer the case in 15.10 -- I need to manually add it by entering bnjp://my.printers.ip.address. This bug is present both on Ubuntu and Ubuntu Gnome.

Hello Bernhard,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with the system-config-printer package. You made this bug report in 2015 and Ubuntu and the system-config-printer package have been updated since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 1529939
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.

I no longer have a Canon printer, so I'm afraid I can't provide any information on whether this is still an issue.
