> I've installed Debian 5.0.4 (Squeeze) that has CUPS 1.4.3. Under a new user account, I navigated to http://localhost:631, selected Administration, then clicked on Add Printer.  Then it hangs with a circling image circle "thing" right to the left of "Looking for printers..."  Just sits there and circles and circles.  Is there a way for me to tell it to tell me what it is hanging upon? This could be a user authentication issue or a network issue, but since there is no messaging shown then I don't even know where to start.

Turns out that this was only happening in the Epiphany browser. Once I switched over to FireFox 3.6.3 the hang disappeared. Go figure.
