I confirm this behavior as well. When adding a printer, a window opens
containing this text: "Reading printer database..." and the CPU load
goes to almost 100%, mostly by cupsd.
The error log gives:
E [31/May/2006:11:28:34 +0200] Bad URI "http=0x80762a8" in request!
E [31/May/2006:11:28:42 +0200] Bad request line
"/usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript5.dll: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden"
from localhost!
kprinter does not have this behavior, adding, removing, changing
settings works flawlessly.
I purged and reinstalled everything with newest packages containing the words
"cups", "foomatic", "gutenprint", "print"
in synaptic, except
"libcupsys2", "libgnomecups1.0-1", "libgnomeprint*"
due to dependencies to lots of programs.
After that, same behavior with gnome-cups-manager. Now cupsd and cups-
driverd are sharing the load while kprinter works without any problem.
The error_log contains nothing now.
Maybe this is connected to Bug 40660, which I filed some days ago. I
started with Breezy and upgraded to Dapper some months ago with some
weekly updates up to now.
