I had to install system-config-printer to install my Canon ts5151 printer. To start it i have two options: either from a shell or by opening it from add/remove software. It is nowhere in my menu or application list and adding or changing a printer in the settings starts the standard printer setup. I have no problem with starting it like this i just wondered if after install system-config-printer should be available from the printer settings or inside the application list/menu?
In an English system, it should be called āPrint Settingsā.
Alas i cannot find it under that name. Not manually, not when searching via super key.
Copy /usr/share/applications/system-config-printer.desktop
to ~/.local/share/applications/
, then edit it from there and remove the NotShowIn=GNOME;
line at the very bottom.
