For me I get a correct setup if I had a printer named "Canon Pixma MP630" or "Canon Pixma MP160", but I can reproduce the problem described here if I try to set up a "Canon MP160". So if the printer identifies itself as "Canon MP160" and not as "Canon Pixma MP160", the current driver (Gutenprint) contains a wrong printer ID:

till@till:~$ lpinfo -m | grep -i MP160
gutenprint.5.2://bjc-MULTIPASS-MP160/expert Canon PIXMA MP160 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9
[...]

If there exist really two different printers, one "Canon MP160" and one "Canon Pixma MP160" only the latter is supported by current Gutenprint and the old Gutenprint version which is wrongly installed here has a bug.

Jussi, can you remove the print queue(s) for your printer and then run

system-config-printer --debug 2>&1 | tee log.txt

in a terminal window. Try to set up your printer and when it gets stuck, please stop with Ctrl+C and attach the log.txt file here. Do not compress the file.
