Bug Description

I need to install manually the driver of my Brother MFC-7360N because every version of Ubuntu recognize the printer but it install a driver that doesn't work so I do this manually after downloading official ".deb" from Brother website and after opening printer settings I have to select manually the new installed driver.

I do this with previous Ubuntu like 11.04, 11.10 and 12.04 but in the Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal it's missing the option to change printer drivers.

under Unity you should use system-config-printer which doesn't have that issue, the option has been added in the GNOME dialog in 3.6 which is in raring
