CUPS bug in Warty?

Hi all!
I have the following setup in my SOHO:
A ClarkConnect box that acts as a firewall, proxy server and print server (CUPS)
A Mandrake 10.0 box that is my wife's terminal
A (brand new) AMD64 Warty box, that's my games box, erm, workstation.
The Mandrake box prints nicely to the print server.
In Warty, I open the Computer -> System configuration -> Printing dialog.
I then double-click on New Printer
It comes up with a nice wizard. I choose Network printer (CUPS printer ipp)
In the URI I type ipp://gateway.irs.co.za/ipp/LaserJet3030
The I click on Forward. The next screen asks for the Manufacturer and Model.
I select the apropriate settings and I leave the driver as Postscript.
I click on Apply and I immediately get the following error dialog box;
The Application "gnome-cups-manager" has quit enexpectedly. I then
have 3 choices: Restart Application, Close and Inform developers.
Restart or Close seem to both do nothing.
If I now go back to the Printers screen, it has actually added the new
printer, however printing does not happen. It keeps on telling me that
the printer is Paused and I cannot unpause it.
Frustratingly I cannot setup the printer in the CUPS web interface, as
all admin functions are disabled.
Has anyone else had problems like these? Have I found a bug? Any ideas?
Thanks a lot
Barry
