The fix suggested by Kevin Knerr (add user cupsys to the shadow group and restart the cups daemon) did *not* work for me. I tried his suggestions but the bug still remains.
This may be a powerpc-specific bug. I have two systems running Dapper (6.06): one powerpc one x86. The powerpc system (iBook G4) shows this bug. A newly installed x86 system (AMD Sempron) does not show this bug. Both systems are fully updated. -- can't add printer, consumes 100% CPU https://launchpad.net/bugs/44465 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
