'Printer Models' section of CUPS printer setup blank.
 
I know my printer works with Linux, and it is detected.
However, when I come to choosing the printer model, the models selector (that I would choose the manufacturer and model from) is blank.

I am thinking that, either I don't have the drivers installed, or it hasn't detected them.
Is this what has happened, and if so how can I solve it?
(I've not needed my printer yet, so I'm in no big hurry to get this fixed.:) )

Had same problem.
 
I had to remove cups and re-install it and that got my printer list back on mine. Gluck :).

I've un-installed CUPS, re-installed it. No luck.
I purged it. Re-installed CUPS. No luck.

EDIT: I've now got a short list of printer drivers. Unfortunately, non for my printer. I know there should be one here... (ML-2010)

Did the foomatic-filters-ppds package get installed?
