sigh ... too bad when important projects are a one-man-show.

CUPS lacks a feature that openldap for example implments with
LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT.

You can easily reproduce the problem in CUPS by setting

ServerName some-unused-ip-address-in-your-local-subnet

in /etc/cups/client.conf.

Samba had the same problem and implemented a workaround for the lack of
a connect timeout in cups:
