This is my first post here, I hope this is the right place for this.

I have installed Ubuntu 13.10 x64, and I tried installing my printer "Canon Pixma MP250". Here is what happend:
I have opened system-config-printer and tried to add the new printer. In the new printer window it showed "Canon MP250 (....)" no "Pixma", I've selected this printer and then tried to install the gutenprint driver. I tried this several times and it froze every time.

I managed to install the driver by lunching system-config-printer from the terminal and when it froze I pressed Ctrl+C, it showed me this:
^CNo ID match for device usb://Canon/MP250%20series?serial=2D3DBE&interface=1:
MFG:Canon;MDL:MP250 series;CMD:BJL,BJRaster3,BSCCe,IVEC,IVECPLI;DES:Canon MP250 series;
There is no "Pixma" here. Even so the system-config-printer continued and I could select my printer and managed to print a test page.

Here is the system-config-printer version:
dpkg -l | grep system-config-printer
ii system-config-printer-common 1.4.2+20130920-0ubuntu1.2 all Printer configuration GUI
ii system-config-printer-gnome 1.4.2+20130920-0ubuntu1.2 all Printer configuration GUI
