Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

When I attempt to add a printer in Jaunty's system-config-printer, the following error is happening:

$ system-config-printer
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 3318, in on_new_printer_activate
    self.newPrinterGUI.init("printer")

    self.fillDeviceTab()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 4928, in fillDeviceTab
    device_select_path = model.get_path (iter)

Just a note.
This bug prevents me from translating system-config-printer, because I can't check where strings are due to the impossibility of adding a printer.
I hope it'll be fixed very soon. :-)

Hi!

Jaunty, system-config-printer 1.1.3+git20090218 does nothing after clicking "Add" button. "Looking for printers" window appears and disappears after a while (there's no printer connected, I want to add a network printer).
