so, I started looking through the code and I found a really easy fix for the CUPS WI when adding a printer (for those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, the web page shows 2. 1 stacked on top of the other and "appears" to hang
in cgi-bin\html.c
remove this line
strstr(user_agent, " MSIE ") != NULL ||
that forces it back to a single part document per the header above it
/*
* CUPS STR #3049: Apparently some browsers don't support multi-part
* documents, which makes them useless for many web sites. Rather than
* abandoning those users, we'll offer a degraded single-part mode...
*
* Currently we know that anything based on Gecko, MSIE, and Safari all
* work. We'll add more as they are reported/tested.

Michael, I know someone had logged this as a "bug" at some point, but someone else had pointed out that it was actually a problem with IE. I don't know if it is worthwile, but if this could get into 1.4.7 (which i believe you said would be out soon) that would be great, if not I know what to fix before I make an RPM.
