Setting up network printer in ubuntu 11.10

Oddly, the usual simple gnome printer setup application is missing from Ubuntu 11.10's interface.

One can still go to terminal, type

system-config-printer

My printer is connected to the Asus RT-N16 router & the configuration to enter is as follow, where 192.168.0.1 is the router's ip address.

Appreciate that you posted this simple clue.
I was getting frustrated with the Unity interface of 11.10, and have reverted to classic. But it was not "permitting" me to add a printer, let alone a network printer.
This worked a treat!
