The proposed package fixes the more important issue of print queues not auto-created at all for all non-IPP-over-USB printers, which is an essential feature of Ubuntu (Plug'n'Print) which got completely lost. The 3-minute delay on IPP-over-USB printers (which are still a minority under the USB printers) is caused by the switchover from Upstart to systemd is not covered. As the former issue is much more important the SRU is worth it already without the fix for the latter issue. Therefore I mark this "verification-done" to make the fix for the first issue going into -updates and will issue another SRU as soon as there is a fix for the other problem.

If the printer connected to USB supports IPP-over-USB, the automatic generation of a print queue can hang for three minutes 2. If the printer connected to USB does not support IPP-over-USB udev- configure-printer calls ippusbxd anyway and errors out, not creating a print queue. This occurs in Vivid and Wily. [Impact] All Vivid users with a USB printer will not get automatic setup of print queues (printer does not do IPP-over-USB) or a print queue setup delayed by around 3 minutes (IPP-over-USB printers). [Test Case] Connect a USB printer for which there is not yet set up a local print queue. Usually within some seconds a print queue is set up automatically for it. No queue gets set up, for IPP-over-USB printers it takes around three minutes to get a print queue. The proposed package fixes this problem. [Regression Potential] Very low. The patch is trivial and it affects only the automatic setup of USB printers. Network printer setup and manual setup of USB printers or printing on already existing queues is not affected.
