Help me to add a HP Deskjet D1560 printer in Trisquel 7.0
I have a HP Deskjet D1560 printer which worked fine with Trisquel 6.0. When I upgraded to Trisquel 7.0 from 6.0, then also it worked perfectly.
Then I made a fresh install of Trisquel 7.0. But this time, although I can detect my printer via system settings -> Printers -> Add New Printer when I select either 'Deskjet-D1500-series' or 'Deskjet-D1500-series-2' I get an error saying 'Failed to add new printer'.
Am I missing any packages from Trisquel 6.0 which enabled me to add my printer?
I have attached screenshots alongside for better understanding.

Hi Heather,
Thank you for the reply. But unfortunately, being a new user, I could not understand your solution.
Can you explain a bit more how you did the trick? (like, the commands used/package installed via synaptic/add or remove software etc.)
You can install the package named "system-config-printer-gnome" (for instance from the "Synaptic package manager") and get the graphical interface you use to have on Trisquel 6.
@ Magic Banana,
Success...!! Now I am able to print my documents with HP Deskjet printer.
So I presume the package 'system-config-printer-gnome' which is missing in Trisquel 7.0 was giving me nightmares for a while.
We should write to Ruben to include this package in the base installation package list.
Thanks a lot, MB...!!
