The program crashed halfway through and wouldn't start again. I ran in console and it came out with these errors: /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py:130: GtkWarning: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Erreur à la ligne 1 caractère 34 : L'élément « p » a été fermé, mais l'élément actuellement ouvert est « b » self.xml = gtk.glade.XML(glade_file, domain = domain) (system-config-printer.py:3337): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Failed to open session DBUS connection: Unable to determine the address of the message bus (try 'man dbus-launch' and 'man dbus-daemon' for help) Volume monitoring will not work.

Here's how to fix it: Go to /etc/cups/ppd/ Delete the printer.ppd file (printer being the name you gave to the printer) Got to /etc/cups/printers.conf Delete the <printer> </printer> you added and everything inside. (or just delete the whole file.)
Thanks for the report! Fixed in CVS. The actual problem was that you hadn't added a device URI for the printer -- it was just blank. I've fixed the printers.conf parser to handle that gracefully.
