[Bug 71251] [Dapper] Unable to remove a network printer from the printer manager while its host can't be found

[Ivailo Stoyanov]

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1) Set up a remote CUPS printer relative to an up-to-date Dapper machine
(in my case I used RAW and a queue via IPP);

2) make the CUPS host inaccessible for the client (e.g. via
disconnecting it from the network, switching it off, etc.);

3) try to delete/remove the printer created under 1) from the gnome-
cups-manager (System -> Administration -> Printing).

Result: the printer cannot be deleted/removed.

This is especially annoying on a laptop where numerous network printers
have been added to gnome-cups-manager -- the corresponding entries
cannot be removed later, while the laptop is disconnected from the
networks.

BTW, is there a way to clean up the printers appearing in gnome-cups-
manager in such a situation?

** Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu)
