Could you tell exactly would you did? I would need a reproducer for this bug.

I wanted to print a PDF, but the printer was not showing in the print dialog (which it usually does) I then opened the printer setup dialog, the printer was not in the list, so I clicked on "add" and this crash happened.

The printer is an HP Envy 5520.

I assume you use the "Printers" section of the GNOME Control Center. Am I right?

Does it always crash? Or did you succeed by clicking "Add" a second time or by restarting the GNOME Control Center? Can you reproduce the crash?

Yes, it's via the printer section of gnome-control-center and it always crashes.

For me the problem is that for me the printer detection when clicking "Add" in the g-c-c Printers section works correctly. I do not get a crash pop-up and I get a list of available printers.

If you use system-config-printer and try to add a print queue with it, does it work? Or do you also get a crash?
