Comment:
Found the problem! The add-on does a find_directory call with
B_COMMON_SETTINGS_DIRECTORY as the parameter to find the settings
directory with....
In BeOS, the COMMON dirs were the same as the USER ones, but in Haiku they
aren't. Therefore, the add-on can't find the printer's directory, and
returns NULL as a result.
Not sure how to fix this one though (besides patching the binary to use
B_USER_SETTINGS_DIRECTORY :P)
