Disabling dnssd didn't help here on 10.04. But this solved it for me (thanks 
Dominik from bug 475845):
echo "ServerName 127.0.0.1" >> /etc/cups/client.conf
(Note that this file probably does not exist beforehand. Also, you need to 
restart your applications for it to take effect)

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: system-config-printer
- 
- When a printer is defined as a remote printer, using DNS-SD, each time
- you enter a gnome print dialog box, the dialog says : 'Getting printer
- information...'
- 
- This phase sometimes takes several tens of seconds, making the printing
- process cumbersome...
+ When a printer is defined as a remote printer, using DNS-SD or not, each time 
you enter a gnome print dialog box, the dialog says : 'Getting printer 
information...'
+ This phase sometimes takes several tens of seconds, making the printing 
process cumbersome...
  
  Applications that don't use gnome print dialog (say openoffice for
  example) don't suffer from this latency.
  
  This behaviour appeared with Karmic Koala and is still here in Lucid
  alpha.
