Anyone have problems installing printers? I cannot install any printer since I get errors about cups.

I have a problem printing from my Ubuntu 12.10 install.

Initially printing to a Minolta 283 bizhub hanged the printer for some reason.

I used the linux driver suppied by Konica Minolta.

Now I tried to install previous cups 1.5.4 instead. I removed cups 1.6 and manually built 1.5.4 from sources.

Hi Everyone,I have a huge problem and I have problems to solve it :S...I've been used to install cups and hplip for my printer, then start cups (rc.d start cups) and go to the cups page at localhost, add printer....
