Description Matt T. Proud 2006-11-03 15:46:08 UTC 
My institution has a central CUPS server that possesses approximately 50 some printer queues. Whenever I go to File>Print, it takes an unreasonably long amount of time for the list to populate; and often the dialog becomes unresponsive to user input. If I open the print dialog, close it, and reopen it, it must requery the server again; and the whole process drags on once again. It would be nice if GNOME/Gtk+ had some means of caching the available printers. I have seen that KDE does this. This would be a significant improvement.

Moving to gtk+ where the new printing support lives.

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
