Comment 11 for bug 1712019

I think you discount a kernel problem too lightly. When CUPS has started a
print job it has to send it to the printer. In my case over the network.
This involves the kernel and or the network driver.

I have just tried the daily build of Ubuntu Gnome - the browser can not
find google and ubuntu Budgie - same problem. The ppd file for the printer
is present in both distributions.

I will re-install Ubuntu tomorrow and try again. 17.04 works perfectly.
