Jockey has been superseded by software-properties, which now handles third-party driver configuration.
The slowness has been solved since a while now. ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: jockey (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to system-config-printer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/900791 Title: Add printer takes too long (users cancel before completing) Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “system-config-printer” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Watching a new user install a Network printer takes too long. A progress bar is shown, and continues to beat back and forth, but the operation takes so long that the user ends up cancelling the process. One month early I watched another user do precisely the same cancellation at the same point while adding the same network printer on the same network. Ideally the progress could be changed from a bouncing bar, to a progressing bar. This would give a sense of competition, that is lacking in the bouncing bar. It would probably even be tolerable to have a completion bar that times at the end. This would replace an unknown with a known.
