printerdrake often runs lpstat to check the config :

If there is a problem with the network config or the cups config, lpstat 
never returns, and printerdrake never finishes to tell me to wait. So I 
must kill it, and I cannot configure any printer with it.

I've got the problem with the following procedure :

- fresh 8.2 install with a printer using PDQ
- configure the network with dhcp (cable modem)
- change the printer manager to CUPS

...hangs... : lpstat doesnt return.

I have run into this problem just by using mdk config tools, without 
manually editing any config file.

I had to disable the dhcp, configure a static IP, configure the printer, 
reconfigure the dhcp.

I think a GUI for a config tool should never be blocked by a single 
command launched in background, and should not suppose it will return in 
short delays.
