Dakai Zhu's suggestion above worked for me also, on Ubuntu 9.10.
Apparently I have an extra version of python at /usr/local/bin, in
addition to the Ubuntu standard version at /usr/bin. I don't know why
the /usr/local/bin version is there.
--------
I was seeing similar symptoms, but not identical. From the desktop menu
trying to launch via System->Administration->Printing, an icon appears
for a few seconds in the task bar, and then disappears. The printer
manager window never comes up. Here was my configuration before I made
the change recommended by Dakai Zhu:
$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l
$ which system-config-printer
/usr/bin/system-config-printer
$ system-config-printer
Traceback (most recent call last):
