[STR New]

Trying to add a serial printer will lead to a non-ending loop of screens.

Screen 1 -- choose connection
Screen 2 -- set baud rate, parity, data bits, flow control
Screen 3 -- set printer name, description, location
Screen 4 -- reverts back to set baud rate, parity, data bits, flow control
Screen 5 -- set printer name, description, location again.

There is a non-ending loop between the screen setting the baud rate,
parity, etc, and the screen setting the printer name, description, etc. 
The process never gets beyond this point to select printer Make and Model.

This is from the web interface in Mac OS X 10.6.x.  I do not have any
other operating system installed to test whether this is universal or Mac
OS X specific.
