Bug Description

User yetanotherbryan from Ubuntu Forums has reported on this since May 2020, and I've also experience this bug this week when I upgraded to 20.04.

    Unable to Change Printer Driver in Ubuntu 20.04
    (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2444046)

    I'm trying to get my printer setup on a fresh
    install of 20.04. In setttings, when I add my
    network printer (Samsung M287X), it is found
    and installs a default driver. I am able to print
    normally. I trying to swap out the printer driver
    ("Additional Printer Settings" > "Properties" >
    "Make and Model -Change") to install alternative
    drivers. This is necessary to enable some features
    such as two sided printing. When I click "Change"
    it attempts to search for drivers but comes
    unresponsive. This is something that I have done
    many times on previous versions of ubuntu. Anybody
    have an idea of what is happening here?

    Thanks,

    Bryan
