I totally disagree with marking this bug as invalid. If I had called the bug "Get rid of system-config-printer and pull gnome-cups-manager back in" I would have marked it invalid myself given Till's statement. But that's not what I'm saying here. I'm in favor of the move to s-c-p but it's UI is much harder to use than g-c-m / g-c-a.
Plug'n'Print should / will work for local printers but doesn't / shouldn't cover network printers, so I don't feel like that point is relevant.
Even Till, who marked it invalid, agreed with the original intent of the bug: that "The user interface of the gnome-cups-manager was really simpler than the one of system-config-printer." It's always bad to take a big step backward in UI like this. See my previous comment for some specific suggestions. |

In order to not overload one bug number with several issues, let's dedicate this bug for the 'configure a new printer' workflow. I changed the title accordingly, since "Bad UI" is too generic and does not support searching for bugs very well.
Current s-c-p's workflow is similar to g-c-m's now, so let's consider that fixed. If you still have improvements about new printer configuration, we'll reopen this one. For other bugs (hanging UI, broken buttons etc.) there should be separate bug reports.
Thank you for your report!
