I'm very sorry for the problems this has caused.

I'll be issuing a PERL update for FC-3 by the end of this week.

Until this new perl version fixes the core problem, you could fix it yourself as
follows, by editing the /usr/share/printconf/conf/printconf_conf.py file, 
@ line 1459 - change:  
     magic_perl = "perl -e 'ioctl(STDIN,0x84005001,$result);"
to:
     magic_perl="perl -e '$result=chr(0)x1024;ioctl(STDIN,0x84005001,$result);"

That will fix the problem with the printconf gui .
