Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

This is my third install of Jaunty. Other attempts at installing a network printer via SAMBA have worked, and other tries have failed like this one did. I've installed it on this same netbook with a different install and it worked. This one did not.
I'm using Jaunty 9.04.
I don't know the package name, honestly. I just tried to install a printer from the default options in System>Administration>Printers
I expected to add a printer
Instead my netbook muttered anti-semitic comments and crashed.
