Public bug reported:

Kernel: 2.6.27-4-generic
Gnome:  2.24.0
system-config-printer: 1.0.5
Development Branch Ubuntu 8.10, all updates applied

Scenario:

Laptop -- many printers configured from customer sites.  Primary home
printer configured as internet printing protocol to another Ubuntu
system and marked as the default printer.

Problem:

When not in home office location, some applications (e.g. Text Editor)
that properly use Gnome to find the printer will hang during invocation
of the print dialog.

Work around:

Assign a different default printer

Reproducible with any default printer as long as the printer is not
reachable when the print dialog invoked.

** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
