Ubuntu – “FirewallD not running” error when trying to install a printer

11.10firewallprinting

When trying to add my printer in a fresh install of 11.10 I get this error message. What does it mean, and what do I have to do? It worked fine in 11.04 (with hplip).

This is a bug and this is a workaround.:

WORKAROUND: As an alternative to the printer configuration tool from the new GNOME Shell control center, you can still use system-config-printer. To open it, just press Alt+F2, type system-config-printer and press Enter.
