Hang While Adding Printer from Web Interface

[William Bloom]

Yes, I've been waiting for a machine to free up at my office to give that a go.  I find that Firefox 1.0 on a MacOSX desktop works fine, while 1.5.04 (on MacOSX) exactly reproduces the symptom that I see with 1.5.02 on FreeBSD.  This is starting to look like a behavior in 1.5.02/1.5.04.  So I'm building Firefox 2 on my BSD desktop to see what happens.  I mistyped earlier - my desktop is FreeBSD, not OpenBSD.

Then, finally, the admin.cgi starts, then cups-driverd starts, and a 'Content-Type: application/ipp' page is written by cups-driverd.  The odd thing is that the POST never happens until I stop the page load.
