For me to have system-config-printer working you only need to have the latest ubuntu version (actually the 1.1.3+git20090218-0ubuntu7 version, check it using synaptic in system, administration). After you have run the program in LPD/LPR Host or Printer you have to specify in the host box the host of the printserver (for example 192.168.1.10) then click the examine button. After a few seconds the foward button became enabled, so you can also insert the printer name in the box below and then click the foward button.
For me it works in this way without applying any patch 2009/3/12 Tim Waugh <twa...@redhat.com> > That doesn't sound like 1.1.x.
