Thanks.

Yes it is.  But simply searching for redhat-config-printer doesn't find the
issue anymore, since the problem was with foomatic and the component
was therefore switched to foomatic.  The title fo the bug that does
still exist is "hang attempting the crate new printer definition,"
which will mess people up who try to search for the correctly spelled
"create new printer."

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113158

The duplicates, 113794 and 114975, don't show up after doing a simple
search anymore either, since the simple search doesn't show bugs that
have been set to duplicate.

Since it's very non-obvious that this problem is a footmatic one rather
than a printconf one, and the only bug that does show up in a simple
search has a misspelling, it's harder to find that the problem is
already in bugzilla than it should be.

Thanks for the help, though.
