Printers setting disappeared, cannot manage printers, ubuntu 14.04

printing 14.04 settings system-settings

I was following these instructions to install canon mp495 network printer on ubuntu 14.04. Those instructions did not work, so I went back to manually install it via the printers setting in ubuntu's system setting. However, there is no printers option anymore. It is simply disappeared.

enter image description here

What has happened and how can I get it back?


Solution 1:

Please verify if system-config-printer-gnome is installed. It provides the config-gui you are missing.

By standard you can access your cupsbackend also via http://localhost:631/admin
