I can also confirm this bug. It is principally impossible to change the "Shared" status of a printer by the right-click menu in the main window.

Tim, do you have a patch for that?

Till: it looks to me as if adding "name = unicode (model.get_value (iter, 2), 'utf-8')" above the offending line would do it; compare with the on_enabled_activate method immediately above.
