The graphical configuring tool should not crash, that's a bug. You ought to
check at the Louchpad. (First time I hear about this feature, since 
March I'm on Ubuntu).

Not necessarily. It could maybe interfere with other packages because of 
the
version numbers (spool-I don't remember what and so on... )

You may want to try to configure with
http://localhost:631/

you will be asked for root so write 'root' then the passwd. One thing I 
don't know, if it requires real root or if the sudo passwd will 
function. You'll see.
Maybe check at the Louchpad first, about the graphical configuration 
tool. I configured my printer easily with it, and so did many users.
Greetings, Joyce Markoll.
