Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select System > Administration > Printing on Gnome menu 2. Click New Printer 3. Click AppSocket/HP JetDirect 4. Enter Print Server IP address, for example, 192.168.0.110 5. Leave Port number at default 9100 6. Click Forward Actual results: The hourglass spins forever. Expected results: It should advance to printer model selection dialog. Additional info: The exact same procedure with another Linux distro immediately advances to printer model selection dialog (correct). I have hplip and hpijs packages installed.

What does 'rpm -q system-config-printer' say?
I have the same problem on two machines: rpm -q system-config-printer returns system-config-printer-0.7.74.10-2.fc8 The out-of-the-box FC8-DVD-ISO installed version seems to work OK as I've installed two printers OK. But, after the latest FC8 updates to various programs, the printer-config program gets broken. When running in a terminal window, I see the following: fetchDevices queryDevices Lock acquired for devices thread Devices thread started Connecting (devices) Fetching devices Closing connection (devices) Releasing devices lock Acquiring devices lock Got devices queryPPDs Lock acquired for PPDs thread PPDs thread started Connecting (PPDs) Fetching PPDs Closing connection (PPDs) Releasing PPDs lock fetchPPDs Acquiring PPDs lock Got PPDs Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 2263, in on_btnNPForward_clicked self.nextNPTab() File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 2298, in nextNPTab host = self.getNetworkPrinterMakeModel(self.device) File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 2558, in getNetworkPrinterMakeModel debugprint (host + ": " + cmd) NameError: global name 'debugprint' is not defined
