Subsequent attempts to install and find a suitable driver always produced this crash.

[Michael Sinchenko (sinchenko-krvgarm)]

adding Canon MF4018

[Noel J. Bergman (noeljb)]

HP C410a, as well.

[Paul Graydon (twirrim)]

also on Toshiba e-studio 281c and HP LaserJet 4050. I'm guessing this isn't printer specific/related

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

See steps how to reproduce the bug even without a printer in bug 633335.

The attached patch solves the reported crash, but the whole problem is not solved by it. In addition, bug 633913 needs to get fixed.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Closing manually as LP's auto-closing is broken.

I have reviewed and tested the new release (0.20+bzr112-0ubuntu1) and it fixes the reported problem. Michael, thank you for the quick fix.
