Probably a problem somewhere in the Python interpreter, a problem of system-config-printer should have given a Python traceback.

I cannot reproduce the problem on up-to-date Oneiric, both on 64 bit and 32 bit.

Does the problem also appear if you enter another URI, like for example

x:
file:/dev/usblp0

You are probably using a USB-to-parallel adapter. Does nothing appear in the list of auto-detected printers, even nothing without your printer's model name, like "Unknown Printer"? Can you follow the instructions in the section "USB printer" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems?
