I have seen the same problem here: my local network has two PC's, two
networked printers and a router with broadband internet access.
My Motorola modem has a button that disconnects from the internet. If the
modem is enabled, the kde printmanager works fine. If I disable the modem
with the magic button, printmanager stalls if I try to add a new printer.
If we were talking about that other O/S, I'd say printmanager is just
phoning home.
Maybe my printmanager wants to install *your* printer on *my* LAN via the
internet!
