I have a network printer - HP LaserJet Professional m1212 nf MFP set as a network printer and working with several other pc (windows).
Steps I used:
1. type 'sudo hp-setup' in the terminal, then entering my password.
2. select the second option (network/ethernet/wireless) and click next
3. scan successfully found my printer's ip address
4. click next
5. click add printer
6. seeing a nasty python error in the terminal:

NOTE TO DEVS:
Thanks for deving so much but I can't depend on my Ubuntu machine because I can't setup the printer. FOR 6 FUCKING MONTHS. I know you try really hard. But this is a plain failure. It saddens me deeply because I really love Ubuntu. Just convinced a Debian guy to give Unity a try the other day. But I depend on windows for a fucking printer. It sucks, it really does. I wish you'd stop releasing new OSes twice a year and focus on making the ones you do release work. FUCK YOU CANONICAL FOR NOT MANAGING TO FINISH THE JOB YOU HAVE BEEN STARTING SO WELL FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
