Please verify if system-config-printer-gnome is installed. It provides the config-gui you are missing.

By standard you can access your cupsbackend also via http://localhost:631/admin

    I was following these instructions to install canon mp495 network printer on ubuntu 14.04. Those instructions did not work, so I went back to manually install it via the printers setting in ubuntu's system setting. However, there is no printers option anymore. It is simply disappeared.

    enter image description here

    What has happened and how can I get it back?

      Is cupsinstalled and working? What does ps aux | grep cups provide? And sudo service cups status? Try sudo service cups restart.

      Yes, it is running. cups start/running, process 2934 . I restarted it, but didn't help.

      Can you verify that system-config-printer-gnome is installed?

      Ah, that was the problem. It was unisnstalled for some reason. Reinstalling system-config-printer-gnome solved the problem. Thanks! Feel free to add the answer.

    Thank you! Any reason why system-config-printer-gnome could have disappeared?
