[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Tim Waugh has already fixed this bug upstream, GIT commit 311761f0906.

[Evan Broder (broder)]

Here's a patch to cherry-pick that commit from upstream. I've uploaded a test build to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive/ubuntu-tests), although it doesn't seem to have shown up yet.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package system-config-printer - 1.1.12+git20090826-0ubuntu5
