There is no way to disable auto-detection in the pixma backend (I will consider adding such an option when I get some time). But did you remove all other backends from dll.conf? All backends mentioned in dll.conf will get loaded and will probe for devices. Removing any backends you don't need may improve startup time quite considerably. There may be other backends that try to do a reverse lookup (which does not work in your case. Are you running an own DNS server?). So remove all other backends from dll.conf.
