Cups eat all my cpu on admin "Add printer"

[Sascha Baier]

Hi Laurent,

I have the same problem.
When I'm working in the web administration or even when I start cupsd,
there is a heavy load on the maschine (cupsd CPU=99%)

Would be great if anybody could help us.

Best regards,
Sascha.

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 !
