Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open System Setting's Printer Configuration. 2. Click New Printer in the left hand tree. 3. Click the New Network Printer button on the right hand side of the window. 4. A window pops up indicating that "The password may be incorrect." even though no prompt for a password appeared. 5. Clicking Ok in this window will eventually bring up a window where a printer URI can be entered. Enter a print URI and click Forward. 6. Choose a printer type from the database. I chose HP. Click forward. 7. In the next screen I chose my printer - Officejet 4300 on the left and HP OfficeJet 4300 Series, hpcups... on the right. Click forward. 8. Enter Printer Name, Description, and Location information. Click Ok. 9. A CUPS server error window will appear indicating that "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-forbidden." 10. The cursor goes busy, but nothing seems to happen. Clicking the Cancel button makes the entire setup workflow window disappear. Actual results: No printer configured. Expected results: Print configured.
