[cups.bugs] [MOD] STR #1894: cannot add printer via web without providing a ppd

[Mike Hallock]

[STR New]

When I try to add a printer via the web interface it "hangs" after hitting
'Continue' on the select Make/Manufacturer form.  If I provide a ppd file
instead of selecting a make, the printer is created.  Using lpadmin also
works (with or without model specification).  It seems to be waiting for
the browser to send the unspecified file.

This is with cups 1.2.2 built on Irix 6.5.29.  I am using Firefox 1.5.0.2
as my browser.

Attached is an excerpt of the error_log for the request.

Also, if you hit 'Stop' in the browser while it appears to be hung up, and
the log level is debug2, you get a never-ending string of lines like

 cupsdReadClient: 5, used=0, file=-1 state=7

in the error_log, and cupsd consumes 100% of a cpu until killed.

Thanks for looking into this!  If you need any more info from me let me
know.
