Comment:
I have marked this bug "Major" because it has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users.
This bug is actually a problem with gnome-cups-add not being able to handle multiple slashes. 
I think the developers should work around this bug before the final release of Dapper since it is not expected to be solved upstream in gnome soon. This could easily be done by replacing the slashes (/) in the model names of the affected PPDs by dashes (-) in packages foomatic-filters-ppds and linuxprinting.org-ppds.
