I can confirm the bug as described by joeharr on Kubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal. Also, his workaround removing the client.conf file does not work for me, since the file does not exist in that location for me. Restarting cups did not solve the problem either. I did not have this problem with Kubuntu 12.04 or Kubuntu 11.10. Can anybody confirm or provide a workaround for this?

The printer is connected to the desktop. On the laptop, I added a "remote printer", using ipp://... It works fine. But when I am at work with my laptop, of course my desktop printer is not available. When I want to print something (in gedit for example, but the same with all softwares), It totally freeze the appli during about 1 or 2 minutes (wait... exactly 65 seconds) while it looks for the printer. This search should be asynchronous, it should not freeze the program (during 65 seconds, which is not 1 or 2 seconds) which wants to print. I use Ubuntu 8.04.1.
