system-config-printer.py crashed with AttributeError in busy()

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

I ran System->Admin->Printing, and hit the "Add printer" toolbar button to add a network printer being shared a Windows machine on the network. It popped up the "Searching" window, which hung around for about 20 secs then disappered, and apport popped up with this crash. The printing UI doesn't crash, but neither are any new printers displayed.

It's 100% reproducible for me here.

system-config-printer (0.7.71+-svn1418-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     o Subversion snapshot r1418
     o Search all SMB servers for a given domain via "nmblookup -R '<DOMAIN>'".
       The former "smbclient -N -L //<DOMAIN IP>" is used as a fallback. Fixes
       LP: #127152
     o Made sure that all items in the tree list of SMB domains/servers/shares
       have the little triangle to show the sub-item list, even before the
       sub-items were scanned. Fixes LP: #127152
     o Quote/Unquote all elements of the SMB device URIs, as spaces are
       also allowed in SMB host and share names. Fixes LP: #128261
     o Handle exceptions raised by the browse_smb_hosts() function if it
       is called before the add-printer wizard window is open. Fixes
       LP: #133573
     o Scan SMB host list when in the main window the "Change" button for
       the URI is clicked and the URI is an SMB URI. This way the list
       of SMB domains/servers/shares in the dialog for setting the URI
       does not stay empty.

The printer is a network printer manufactured by Brother, Model: MFC-3340CN and it is connected by cable direct to the router which is a SpeedTouch 580. I hope in some ways this may help to solve the reason for this crash?

Which version of Ubuntu and which version of the system-config-printer package do you have?
