Is there a bug with adding a new network printer (IPP) in Gnome 3
because I am unable to do it in both Fedora 15 (Gnome 3.0) Fedora 16
(Gnome 3.2) and Wheezy (Gnome 3.0).
There seems to always have been a bug that prevented you from adding a
printer using its DNS hostname, Ive alwyas had to put in the IP address,
but in Gnome 3 even when you enter the IP and search and the printer
make/model comes up, clicking the Add button cuases Systm Settings to hang.

I have added two network printers without any noticeable problem, not
using "ipp" but raw socket 9100 by means of GNOME printer facility which
automatically discovered the available printers in the network and I only
had to select the driver to load.

Anyway, have you tried adding the printer from CUPS web UI (http://
localhost:631)?

Greetings,
