The Gnome printers utility is frustrating to say the least. The system has the traditional printer dialog, which can be pulled up by typing the following into the terminal:
system-config-printer
Adding this to the Launcher
I did not want to remember this command for the once in awhile need of adding a printer. So, instead, I created a modified Printer launcher by doing the following:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Printers Configuration
Comment=Change system printer settings
Exec=system-config-printer
Icon=printer
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
# The X-GNOME-Settings-Panel is necessary to show in the main shell UI
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Settings;HardwareSettings;X-GNOME-Settings-Panel;
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
X-GNOME-Settings-Panel=printers
# Translators: those are keywords for the printing control-center panel
Keywords=Printer;Queue;Print;Paper;Ink;Toner;
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-control-center-2.0
Now you have a Launcher called Printers Configuration!
