Cups eats all cpu on admin "Add printer"

[Laurent Hugé]

Hi,

I repost here  my problem because no one has been able to give me an answer in the forum cups.general.

 I've got a big problem in configuring cups. I launch cupsd, log in http://127.0.0.1:631/admin, I enter the root's password and select "Add printer" ; then cups takes more than three minutes at 98% load (source : top with an AMD Athlon XP 2400+) before displaying the page ; I fill the fields, validate, and it turns again at 98% load for three minutes to display the page with port ; and then nothing because there's no port available on the menu !
 The behaviour of my browser (Konqueror) is strange : begining at 1ko/s, then rapidly to 500o/s, 250o/s, then nothing. My firewall doesn't filter anything on localhost.
 I can't find anything special in the log, except lines of things like :
         Closing client 8 after 300 seconds of inactivity...
         CloseClient() 8
         CloseClient: Removing fd 8 from InputSet and OutputSet...
         ReadClient() 6, used=0
         CloseClient() 6
         CloseClient: Removing fd 6 from InputSet and OutputSet...
         DeleteCert: removing certificate for pid 0
         AddCert: adding certificate for pid 0
         PID 1591 exited with no errors.
         DeleteCert: removing certificate for pid 1591
         WriteClient() 5 1253 bytes
         REQUEST localhost - root "GET /admin/?op=add-printer HTTP/1.1" 200
 2477
  ...

 Here is my cupsd.conf :
  root$ grep -v "^$\|^#" /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (to avoid all comments)
  AccessLog syslog
  DataDir /usr/share/cups
  DocumentRoot /usr//share/doc/cups
  ErrorLog syslog
  FontPath /usr/share/cups/fonts
  LogLevel debug2
  PageLog syslog
  RequestRoot /var/spool/cups
  ServerBin /usr/lib/cups
  ServerRoot /etc/cups
  TempDir /var/spool/cups/tmp
  Port 631
  Browsing Off
  <Location />
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny From All
   Allow From 127.0.0.1
  </Location>
  <Location /admin>
   AuthType None
   AuthClass System
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny From All
   Allow From 127.0.0.1
  </Location>

 I've remade cups with no optimization, I've checked every directory specified in cupsd.conf, I've checked everything with lpinfo and cups-config, I've tried to use another browser (lynx), I've commented the lines Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 in <Location /admin>, but there's no evolution.

 Is somebody able to help me ?
