Description of problem:
Installed Samsung CLP500 driver (CLP-500 i386 Linux Driver
(ver.1.1.2-7)).  system-config-printer then fails to load.  Determined
that it was an exception when parsing the output of
"/usr/sbin/alternatives --display print".  On my system it returns "
link currently points to /usr/local/linuxprinter/bin/llpr" and causes
an exception when this is parsed by the line of code "which = l.split
('.')[1].strip ()".  Adding a try block which assigns a default to
"which" allows the program to continue:

        f = os.popen ('/usr/sbin/alternatives --display print')
        for l in f.readlines ():
            if l.startswith (" link currently points to"):
                # JT
                try:
                    which = l.split ('.')[1].strip ()
                except:
                    which = "cups"
                break

This issue occurs in three source codes:

/usr/share/printconf/util/queueTree.py
/usr/share/printconf/util/cups_import.py
/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_conf.py
