Public bug reported:

At home I have a desktop and a laptop. The printer is connected to the desktop.
On the laptop, I added a "remote printer", using ipp://... It works fine.

But when I am at work with my laptop, of course my desktop printer is
not available. When I want to print something (in gedit for example, but
the same with all softwares), It totally freeze the appli during about 1
or 2 minutes (wait... exactly 65 seconds) while it looks for the
printer.

This search should be asynchronous, it should not freeze the program
(during 65 seconds, which is not 1 or 2 seconds) which wants to print.

I use Ubuntu 8.04.1.
