All please also check the permissions of the PPD files in
/etc/cups/ppd/. They need to be world-readable.

Do

sudo chmod 644 /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd

to assure this.

Does the problem dealt with in this bug (dialog hanging) go away? Or
does only the filling up of /tmp (if you had this) stop?

Title:
  Printer dialog stuck on "Getting printer information..."

Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In GTK+3/gnome-3 apps (eg evince), when I select my network-discovered
  printer, the "Status" field changes to "Getting printer
  information..." and the mouse cursor goes into spinning icon, and the
  Print button stays disabled, so I cannot print.

  In Firefox, the status tells me the printer is low on toner, but
  allows me to print.
