I was to rash assigning this behaviour to gnome-cups-icon (which used to
be the dysfunctional annoyance affecting printing in gnome some time
ago) when it was in fact another program.
** Summary changed:
- gnome-cups-icon is an interfering busybody
+ system-config-printer/applet.py is an interfering busybody
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: gnome-cups-manager
-
+ Binary package hint:system-config-printer-gnome
I just sent a document to a networked printer that is currently switched off.
After a while, gnome-cups-icon gave me a warning that the printer might be
offline. (Oh, sorry, I just had to close another of these messages) This is
OK, and I clicked it away. I will switch the printer on if I pass by there.
But now gnome-cups-icon keeps repeating and repeating the message over and
over again (Oh, sorry, I just had to close another of these messages). The
whole point of using a spooler (Oh, sorry, I just had to close another of these
messages) is to be able to put documents in a queue to be (Oh, sorry, I just
had to close another of these messages) printed in time, there is no point for
the queue manager (Oh, sorry, I just had to close another of these messages) to
demand immediate reactions from the user if something doesn't (Oh, sorry, I
just had to close another of these messages) work. One warning is OK (Oh,
sorry, I just had to close another of these messages) , but making a
workstation unusable because something in the network (Oh, sorry, I just had
to close another of these messages) that might be out of the control of the
local user (Oh, sorry, I just had to close another of these messages) is not
working right now is absolutely rude. (Oh, sorry, I just had to close another
of these messages).
