I also have the same problem when adding a epson px720wd networkprinter.
When i use controlpanel>add printer, the installation keeps hanging
arond 50%.

I tried the suggestion made by Bruno Nova (brunonova) wrote on 2014-06-18: "However, I then removed the Epson driver, then the Epson repository and key (using Software & Updates) and refreshed the cache.
Then I tried to install the printer again, this time by executing the system-config-printer command from the terminal" -- The installation succeeded. The scanner is also working.

I also tried to install the printer on netrunner 14.04, via system-
settings>add printer. the printer installed correctly.

Title:
  installing driver hangs indefinitely

Status in “packagekit” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “system-config-printer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While installing a printer driver, I get the usual progress bar modal
  window (title: 'Installing driver epson-inkjet-printer-escpr',
  content: 'Installing ...'). It just stops and hangs indefinitely at
  about 50% progress though.

  I've inspected pstree, and the offending command line seems to be:

  /usr/bin/python /usr/share/system-config-printer/install-
  printerdriver.py epson-inkjet-printer-escpr deb
  http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/ lsb3.2 main
  E5220FB7014D0FBDA50DFC2BE5E86C008AA65D56

  Running it from the command line outputs the following two lines:

      Signature key supplied
      pk.install_signature

  .. and then it hangs as well.

  I've attached an strace -f of the above command.  The trace doesn't
  actually end (the process hangs as before), but does stop outputting
  new system calls.
