I think cups 1.7.2-0ubuntu1.1 has trouble handling the '+' in the uri-scheme (system-config-printer doesn't accept it in the device-URI text field either), in a terminal:
lpadmin -p cp400 -v 'gutenprint52+usb://Canon/SELPHY+CP400?serial=NONE_UNKNOWN&backend=canonselphy'
lpadmin: Bad device-uri scheme "gutenprint52+usb".

1) Try setting up your printer in the cups webinterface: http://localhost:631/admin > Add Printer
Is the gutenprint52+usb option listed there (your lpinfo -v info shows it)?

2) Probably the easiest workaround is to rename /usr/lib/cups/backend/gutenprint52+usb to just gutenprint52:
In a terminal:
sudo mv /usr/lib/cups/backend/gutenprint52+usb /usr/lib/cups/backend/gutenprint52usb
lpinfo -v
Does step 1 list the gutenprint52usb option now?
Now it should also be possible to set up your printer with system-config-printer.

Title:
  Adding CP400 printer gives "client-error-not-possible" error

Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

  Appears to find the drivers and gets to the New Printer page.  Hitting
  Apply button gives:

  CUPS Server Error: There was an error during the CUPS operation:
  'client-error-not-possible'.

  Once it created a greyed out printer icon with what looked like a
  vertical = sign over it.  Every other time, it simply gives the error.
