Bug Description
I am trying to build a headless file/print server for my home network. Decided to use Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 RC on Pentium III 500MHz. Printer is HP Office Jet G85 on USB. No GUI, so trying to use lynx for setup. Upon "Add Printer", CUPS crashes. Must restart cupsys, but no printer installed. I tried using lpadmin to install printer, but I cannot figure out how to install/find driver.
