Same problem here, caused by having a remote (ipp) printer defined, and
the name of the host on which the queue is defined is unresolvable. It
is not the default queue -- in this case one printer defined on a server
at home, the hostname of which is normally discovered by zeroconf. If
that server is down or I am at another location, the print dialog takes
approx. 1 minute to appear.

I think the name resolution call happens in gtk_printer_request_details
(from a quick poke around with gdb). Needs to be made an asynchronous
operation which doesn't hold up opening the print dialog.

Workaround. Check what servers your remote printers are on, and make
sure the host's name (as shown in the print setup dailog) is define in
/etc/hosts. If the same problem I am describing, your print dialog
should become responsive again as soon as you make the change.
