Colord reports the device/profile(s) getting registered when CUPS (?) wakes up about every 13 minutes, then I see the 30 second timeout. This sequence happens throughout the day.

Also, the cupsd process is running on debianx, but not on dell2800. Both are invoked with 'cupsd -f' as specified in the systemd service file. Trying the 'SystemdIdleExit off' parm to see if it keeps cupsd up and silences the colord chatter. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
