I have observed that the unresponsiveness of the printer notifier is related to the length of time a printer takes to consume the job data. I have 3 instances of xubuntu 14.04 (on physical machines) that send jobs to the same lpd print server. The laser printer attached to that server has a "deep sleep" mode. When asleep, it takes 60 seconds to "wake" and emit the first page. The notifier often hangs if the printer is asleep. At all other times pages are emitted within seconds and the notifier behaves as expected.
I have installed b3nmore's experimental scp-dbus-service.py (reply #28) on all 3 machines. Superficially it seems to have corrected the problem. I will report back when I've seen a lot more jobs pass through this printer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1291075 Title: printer icon does not disappear To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/1291075/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
