For me this change does not fix the bug. The "Connection" list starts open for me now, but is is still too small, looking like in the screenshot presented by the original poster.

I have applied a correct fix now, submitted in system-config-printer 1.3.6+20110831-0ubuntu7. The package is waiting in the approval queue due to the beta2 freeze. Will hit the archives shortly after release of beta2 on Thursday at the latest.

system-config-printer (1.3.6+20110831-0ubuntu7) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/45_make-connections-list-easily-accessible.patch:
    Make the connections list on the device page of the add-printer wizard
    more easily usable: Really expand it by default and explicitly define its
    default size so that it gets larger (~ 3 visible lines). This actually
    fixes LP: #842092.
  * debian/patches/43_allow-test-page-printing-for-remote-cups-queues-via-dnssd.patch:
    As 37_allow-printing-test-page-on-remote-printer-without-ppd.patch, but
    now for remote CUPS queues accessed via DNS-SD. CUPS does not mark these
    queues as remote, therefore the additional patch is needed to recognize
    the queue by its device URI.
  * debian/patches/40_improve-handling-of-remote-cups-queues-via-dnssd.patch:
    A CUPS server can also broadcast its queues vis DNS-SD and not via IPP
    (like Mac OS X machines with shared printers do). In this case the queues
    are not made available automatically on the client, but the broadcasted
    queues can be selected in the add-printer wizard under the auto-detected
    network devices. This patch improves the labeling so that the server is
    listed with its name or IP (and not with the description of its first
    queue) and in the "Connection" menu of the server the queues are shown
    with their descriptions (and not all undistinguishable with "Remote CUPS
    printer via DNS-SD").
