The backtrace already suggested, but I could not believe it.. It seems gnome-cups-add is being incredibly stupid and sending out SNMP request forever, essentially disregarding the ICMP reports flowing back from the LPR server, as the attached screenshot shows.

And gnome-cups-add is already very lucky that it receives ICMP errors; It could happen that the SNMP packets would be silently discarded by a firewall! Really, gnome-cups-add should not SNMP-probe the print server for more than a couple of seconds.

PS: a friend of mine got this same problem on a Dapper system. I'm on Edgy. I didn't make this analysis on her system, but I suspect the same problem because the symptoms are the same.
