I get a CUPS Server error: 'server-error-internal-error' when I try to connect a network printer

I was able to work around the problem by setting up the printer using the CUPS web interface. I pointed my browser at localhost:631, which gave me the web interface. Then selected "Adding Printers and Classes", then "Add Printer".

It had already detected my network attached printer so it was just a matter of installing the correct PPD file from the selection.

I don't know why attempting to install the printer through the ubuntu Printers settings resulted in the 'server-error-internal-error', but this method seems to have worked fine. If anyone knows what the root cause of the error is I'd still love to know...
