Description of problem:
I plugged my USB printer, clicked the + on the printer box from the gnome 3 control panel. It gave me local and network. Both were blank.
If I used the system- config- printers it found everything no problem, the network printer and the local USB printer.
I think there's something wrong with how the gnome 3 is detecting the printers.
