Do you mean that system-config-printer hangs in an infinite loop when trying to set up a new print queue and Canon's proprietary printer drivers are installed?

Which files do these drivers install in /usr/lib/cups/backend/? These files are executables, if you run them in a terminal window without any command line arguments, do they output something? Do they exit in a reasonable time? Please post the output here and tell how long they take to produce the output and how long they take to exit.

If one of these backends is not executable for normal users, please execute it with preceded "sudo " and enter your password when asked for.

I executed it in terminal with preceded "sudo". When I want add the new printer in terminal error message appears.

Tim, can you have a look into this?

[Tim Waugh (twaugh)]

Fixed upstream in 60efcbb.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package system-config-printer - 1.3.3+20110707-0ubuntu1

---------------
system-config-printer (1.3.3+20110707-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     o GIT 1.3.x snapshot from 2 June 2011
     o Changed Make/Model and State labels into a GtkEntry so contents are
       always fully selectable.
     o udev: don't rely on retriggering printers, enumerate them instead.
       (As Ubuntu uses Upstart and not systemd we need to update
       /etc/init/cups.conf to make use of the new functionality).
     o Convert iters to paths before comparing (Red Hat bug #717062,
       LP: #791690, Upstream bug #221). Tree iters cannot be compared, but
       paths can.
     o Set translation domain in D-Bus service (LP: #783967).
     o Driver preferencess: Avoid PostScript for HP LaserJet 2100 Series
       (Red Hat bug #710231). Avoid non-manufacturer PostScript drivers in
       this case. Some other drivertype names changed to avoid conflicts and
       mistaken matches.
     o Ensure consistency in jobviewer if add_job fails (Red Hat bugs #693055
       and #632551).
     o Raised the priority of the SpliX driver for Samsung laser printers, so
       that it is used as the default driver for these printers, and not
       "Foomatic/gdi" any more (LP: #793741).
     o Adjusted test code in asyncpk1.py so it doesn't look like a tempfile
       vulnerability.
  * debian/patches/20_priority-for-splix.patch: Removed, applied upstream.
  * debian/patches/10_do-not-show-firewall-dialog.patch: Removed, problem of the
    firewall dialog appearing is solved upstream.
