Bug Description
Trying to print this page:
http://
in either Firefox or Epiphany causes the print dialog to crash, taking the calling application with it. I was able to print successfully using either Opera or Konqueror with the KDE print dialog, leading me to believe that the problem lies in Gnome's printer dialog. I to catch the offending process using top and ps when opening the page in Firefox, choosing File > Print... and then keeping the print dialog open. Unfortunately, the system froze while working in the terminal. I was able to ssh into the machine and acquire dmesg, syslog, ps axf and lspci -vnn. I tried going to `init 3`, but nothing happened so I rebooted. Apart from the freeze, the print dialog crash is reproducible by attempting to print the aforementioned web page.
This is on an IBM ThinkPad running Hardy, all updates installed as of 2008-02-22. Let me know if you need more info.

I forgot to mention that this occurred when printing to a samba shared printer on a Window XP machine. I'd assume the same behaviour is exhibited when using a local printer given the ability to print using the KDE printing subsystem with Opera or Konqueror. It doesn't seem to be a bug in CUPS.
