Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer
When trying to add a new network printer, the dialog freezes after about half a
minute of searching. A list of found printers is never displayed. The only way
to exit the program is to kill it.
The same process on a Ubuntu 9.04 system works just fine, displaying about 10
printers to choose from and with no problem to add one of these and printing a
test page. So I think I can rule out a problem with the network.
I had been able to successfully configure a printer with an earlier
alpha build of Ubuntu 10.04. When I tried to add a second printer this
morning a list of printers was displayed but the application crashed
when selecting one of them for addition. The bug-report application told
me that this could not be reported as my "system-config-printer" wasn't
up to date. After upgrading I now have the problem described above, with
no printers being displayed and the application hanging.
