Same here - different printer:
# foomatic-configure -s cups -p Samsung-ML-4500 -c file:/dev/lp0 -n Samsung -d gdi
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/Foomatic/DB.pm line 3389.

Then, if I try again, I get this:
# foomatic-configure -s cups -p Samsung-ML-4500 -c file:/dev/lp0 -n Samsung -d gdi
Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/Foomatic/DB.pm line 1879.

Before we fully close this, unmerging and merging foomatic and cups did solve the main problem.  HOWEVER, we still have an uninit value in the foomatic-configure script here.  Still, cupsd now works!

root## foomatic-configure -s cups -p Brother-HL-5070N -c file:/dev/usb/lp0 -n Brother -d Postscript
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/Foomatic/DB.pm line 3427.


Thanks, guys.
