Bug Description

It was working perfectly in 8.10. The printer is attached to a cups server running on the Mac. On the 8.10, the cups server was automatically discovered. On 9.04 for Printer Configuratoin->Server-Cupsserver I enter 'Max Roxy' or the IP address of the Mac. When, I click on connect whether with encryption of not, I get the message 'Cups Server Error' - 'There was an error during the Cups operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'

Thanks, I really liked 8.10 for having zero problems with printing as I did before when I was running Suse.

I have reinstalled all the cups components to no avail.

I have sent a report using 'ubuntu-bug cups' . Currently the report says that ubuntu is not able to find the server. It does not tell me which, but the cups server is running on a Mac with which 8.10 had no problem finding and printing.
I have also a serious problem with the UI hanging - for example when I move a window and try to grab the title, or when I get the 'Printing configuration' panel and click on close. Many other situations.
By the way I thought there was a way to activate a terminal via the F1 key. I tried everything, I have to reboot - have lost work to the point that I am shelving or reinstalling 8.10.
