I did an update/upgrade to get the latest dapper packages. Then I moved the entire /etc/cups directory to a new, temporary location. Finally, I started gnome-cups-manager and tried to add a new printer.
Unfotunately, it did not work. The CPU uasage did not spike to 100% (didn't seem to change appreciably), but I could not add a new printer. As in my original report, no manufacturers or printers show up in the gnome-cups-manager window (just blank space). -- can't add printer, consumes 100% CPU https://launchpad.net/bugs/44465 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
