I've applied this patch to avoid the problem. Not really sure why SIGCHLD was caught at that point though.

system-config-printer (0.7.74+svn1502-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     o Subversion snapshot r1502
     o Samba settings get saved intoi the URI now after editing the printer
       location (Fixes LP: #138226)
     o Ignore OS error in my-default-printer (Fixes LP: #136403)
     o SMB scan on demand in separate dialog (to avoide delay when selecting
       SMB server in add-printer wizard if there are many Windows boxes in the
       network)
     o Fixes several GUI inconsistencies
