[Bug 81787] Can't add JetDirect Printer with the Postscript Driver

[otterpop81]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-cups-manager

Go to System->Admin->Printers in the menu
Double-Click "New Printer"
Select "Network Printer"
Select "HP JetDirect"
Enter a Host IP address
Click Next
Select "HP" as Manufacturer
Select "LaserJet 2100" as model
** THIS NEXT ONE SEEMS TO BE THE KEY
Select "Postscript" as the Driver
Click Forward
Enter a name for the printer, description, etc.
Click Apply

No printer has been added.

If you run gnome-cups-add from the command line and do the same thing,
you get an error message at the end reading:

** (gnome-cups-add:7032): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status
1280

Just before it, is:

Selected ppd file = foomatic:HP-LaserJet_2100-Postscript.ppd


Seems pretty straight forward. It does this every time. I just updated a few minutes ago, and I'm using 6.10

** Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
