Bug Description

I've installed recently edgy beta. When I open the printers manager and i try to add a new printer, the windows gnome-cups-add freeze when reading printers database.

If y try a /etc/init.d/cupsys restart, the wizard appear, but there's no printer in the driver selection screen ...

Trying to connect to http://localhost:631 don't work anyway.

Thanks for your help !

Does it really freeze or is it just very slow?

In fact it is slow. Meanwhile, i've found what's wrong, it was a network pb (access to localhost), there's no lo interface in my /etc/network/interface !

Now (with a lo interface) it works fine

Perhaps, it can be userful to advert the user if localhost is unreachable (I've found other users that have the same pb on the net).

Thanks for your help !

Closing, thanks for checking again!

The loopback interfacte is in /e/n/interfaces by default, so this seems to be a local configuration error.
