Bug Description
WORKAROUND: As an alternative to the printer configuration tool from the new Gnome Shell control center, you can still use system-
It appears a patch was added to Gnome back in July that requires FirewallD to be running in order to add a network printer.
see: http://
This only appears to affect those using the Gnome 3 desktop environment, and this problem is not present in Unity, so you can still add the pinter in Unity's control panel, but users wanting to use Gnome will encounter this. The specific error message is:
"FirewallD is not running. Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client enabled on firewall."
The documentation in the mentioned patch suggests this behavior is actually intentional. However, FirewallD is, as far as I know, specific to Fedora.
1) release: Ubuntu Oneiric Beta 2 (64 bit, but others likely to be affected)
2) issue is more specific to the Gnome 3 desktop environment as a whole, although there may be individual packages that can be patched to circumvent this behavior
3) I expected the previous behavior of being able to add a network printer without having a package that does not even exist for Ubuntu
4) I got this nice error message that tells me "FirewallD is not running. Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client enabled on firewall."
As far as a solution goes, a documented work-around may be a good idea (such as an FAQ entry that says simply to install the network printer in Unity), at least until a more permanent solution can be found.
