But.. we don't query the printers for PPDs. Not just that we don't do it at that point -- we don't do it at all. The only PPD that is fetched (from the CUPS server you're connected to, likely the local machine) is the one for the current printer selected.
"Fetching devices" is the equivalent of 'lpinfo -v'. So how long does 'lpinfo -m' take? This fetches the list of available PPDs from the CUPS server, and foomatic might take some time to generate them. -- system-config-printer: no way to cancel 'searching for printers' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
