Bug Description

When trying to add printers via the Printer module in the System Settings I get the following error message:

Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: the IPP request failed for an unknown reason.

Thus I cannot add any printer.

The CUPS server is running and I can also access its web-frontend on http://localhost:631

Please let me know if you need more details.
