By not having firefox running I was able to run system-config-printer as root

I'm having a similar problem. I didn't capture it but the only appearently helpful output from s-c-p --debug was "Printer disappeared" after I finished configuring. For me the add printer dialog didn't hang, it closed but no printer was actually added. It's worth mentioning though that I was using s-c-p from one computer and connecting to cups on another...
Jim: it looks like, rather than adding a printer, you tried deleting a printer. However, cupsd didn't get a request to actually carry out the delete-printer operation. Did it ask you for your password? What does this command say?: pkcheck -a org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.printeraddremove -p $$
Close it - not running that version anymore.
