system-config-printer-gnome 1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.5 python-cups 1.9.66-0ubuntu2 libcups2 1.7.2-0ubuntu1.2
I use 1.7.2 CUPS clients with a 1.4.2 CUPS server. To access to print menu in any applications, it was very slow (about 2 minutes), I have configured the version=1.1 option in /etc/cups client.conf, and now all works fine except system-config-printer so it may confirm that it doesn't respect the version=1.1 option in client.conf and still use IPP 2.0. -- 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/1364025 Title: system-config-printer fails with cups-client talking to cups 1.3 server Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: system-config-printer-gnome version 1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.1 python-cups version 1.9.66-0ubuntu2 libcups2 version 1.7.2-0ubuntu1.1 I have my systems configured to talk to a cups 1.3 server, which only speaks IPP 1.1, so I have in /etc/cups/client.conf: ServerName cups-serv.example.com/version=1.1 ...and printing from applications and the command line works fine. When I run system-config-printer, all the printers are shown in a dialogue box, but attempting to refresh the dialogue box or perform any operation on any of the printer icons in the box produces an error box saying: CUPS server error There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'Bad Request'. Viewing the network traffic with wireshark I see that system-config-printer is making some requests with IPP version 2.0, and it is these requests which the CUPS server is objecting to. system-config-printer (or perhaps the python CUPS libraries it uses, or perhaps the underlying C CUPS API) should respect the version=1.1 option in client.conf.
