Today will trying to add a network printer I found out that when going to gnome-control-center printer, the "add printer button" is disable.
I found out from the following page, that you'll have to install the cups-pk-helper package to solve this.

I think this problem has something to do with the following bug report:
http://trisquel.info/es/issues/12696
Hope it helps someone out there.
I guess that what happens is that usually connecting the printer to the computer would install the printer automatically so there is no need for a "add printer", unless you want to install a network printer, in that case you will have to also do that is described in the bug report which is to install the smbclient package too.
sudo apt-get install smbclient

Thanks for the information!
To the Trisquel maintainers: Perhaps these packages ought to be a part
of the default install for Trisquel 7?
I bumped into this issue and it didn't strike me as proper when I tried
adding a network printer and found the GUI printer system control panel
effectively unavailable.

This comment really helped me (thanks arielgnu)
I was trying to install my HP photosmart D7100 that is plugged into an airport express but there was no option to add printer.
When I installed these two programs it instantly recognised my printer!
install system-config-printer package you will get the old one like T6
