Severity: important
printconf died when I tried to install my HP LaserJet 4L:

Also, running printconf as non-root gives another NameError:
tomyl:~$ printconf
Traceback (most recent call last):

print >> sys.stderr, "Please run printconf as root or specify the
--dry-run option."

The sys module is obviously not imported.
