[STR New]

I tried to delete a printer using the web admin tool.  The printer was
remotely shared via IPP.  When I pressed the 'delete' button, the browser
was redirected to the IP address of the machine serving the printer. 
After a couple failures, I manually forced the IP address to 'localhost'
and was able to successfully complete the task.

Here's the URL that was provided when the delete button was initially
used:
https://10.0.0.8:631/admin/?op=delete-printer&printer_name=BwPrinterRaw
I changed it to:
https://localhost:631/admin/?op=delete-printer&printer_name=BwPrinterRaw

Note that 10.0.0.8 is the address of the machine serving the printer. 
Both boxes are running Ubuntu 6.10, for the record.
