Tim, it seemsthat something in the Python3 transition has torn down the
handling of thediscovered printers completely, at least in Ubuntu.
Perhaps some basic concepts of Python have changed or data types are
distinguished more strictly.

I can reproduce the problem by staring s-c-p from a terminal, clicking
"Add printer" and then choosing one of the discovered printers (in my
caseit was a network printer). Instead of geting the connection types
for the printer in the lower right of thedialog, I get traceback with
said message in the terminal window.
