[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Please run the following command in a terminal window:

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-notify-0.7

Then try to start system-config-printer again. Does this solve the problem?

[Jack Fromm (jjfrv8)]

Yes, that did solve the problem.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Jack, thank you very much. I will make this package a dependency of system-config-printer.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package system-config-printer - 1.4.2-0ubuntu2

---------------
system-config-printer (1.4.2-0ubuntu2) saucy; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Let system-config-printer-gnome depend on gir1.2-notify-0.7
    (LP: #1221219).
