[cups.bugs] [CRIT] STR #1824: cannot add a printer

[Andreas Schlager]

[STR New]

I've installed CUPS as provided from debian in version 1.2.1-3.

Following problem: When trying to add a printer, I cannot select a
printer-manufactor. I'm waiting infinite for the next configuration-page.

I think, there is a problem with cups-driverd. It seems to collect the
installed ppd's, but gets not finished.

Here a output of 'top':
