This bug was fixed in the package system-config-printer - 1.3.5+20110801-0ubuntu1

---------------
system-config-printer (1.3.5+20110801-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     o GIT 1.3.x snapshot from 1 August 2011
     o Deactivate OK button of the printer properties dialog only if there are
       conflicts between settings (LP: #444280).
     o Make PackageKit optional in cupshelpers (Red Hat bug #726996,
       LP: #819000, LP: #819267).
  * debian/control: Removed dependency on python-packagekit again, as this
    package is in Universe (LP: #819267).
