Alan DavisThis is consistent with the libcupsys problem that cups hangs when the printer server does not respond.The cups problem can bite you in unexpected ways - until you think about it.
I usually don't run into any such problems since I also run cupsd on every machine, so the cups server is always localhost. That local cups server then either polls another server or listens to braodcasts picking up printers. If you are not connected to the network, your printers simply disappear... Andreas
I had configured cups on my laptop to pick up printers from the cups server, adding "ServerName foo.bar.no" to /etc/cups/client.conf. Fine when in the office, but when I was traveling, gnumeric wouldn't start. Because the cups server wasn't accessible from outside. Actually, after a while it gave up trying and timed out. But that was after *I* had lost patience and given up.
