Disabling dnssd didn't help here on 10.04. But this solved it for me (thanks Dominik from bug 475845): echo "ServerName 127.0.0.1" >> /etc/cups/client.conf (Note that this file probably does not exist beforehand. Also, you need to restart your applications for it to take effect)
** Description changed: - Binary package hint: system-config-printer - - When a printer is defined as a remote printer, using DNS-SD, each time - you enter a gnome print dialog box, the dialog says : 'Getting printer - information...' - - This phase sometimes takes several tens of seconds, making the printing - process cumbersome... + When a printer is defined as a remote printer, using DNS-SD or not, each time you enter a gnome print dialog box, the dialog says : 'Getting printer information...' + This phase sometimes takes several tens of seconds, making the printing process cumbersome... Applications that don't use gnome print dialog (say openoffice for example) don't suffer from this latency. This behaviour appeared with Karmic Koala and is still here in Lucid alpha. + + === Workaround === + echo "ServerName 127.0.0.1" >> /etc/cups/client.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/534985 Title: Gnome print dialog box poll for printer info every time it's opened To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/534985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
