As of these versions, gnome-control-center and system-config-printer no longer segfault on printer add. I receive an error popup "Failed to add new printer." instead. I'm also able to add discovered network printers via system-config-printers (even though it takes about 5 minutes to do driver lookups). No crash is good!
