Description Marek Kašík 2010-04-01 12:38:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
When gtk print dialog is starting there is a 10~ seconds long delay sometimes. It shows up if cups listens to socket (line "Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock" is in cupsd.conf).


How reproducible:
Almost always


Steps to Reproduce:
0. have some printers configured in cups and "Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock"
   line in cupsd.conf
1. run gtk-demo
2. run "Printing" demo


Actual results:
Print dialog freezes for several seconds.


Expected results:
Print dialog doesn't freeze.


The problem here is that reading of PPD files collides with getting list of
printers. It helps to give higher priority to getting of PPDs than to getting
list of printers.

    Honor PPD reading over listing of printers
    
    Reading of PPD files collides with getting list of printers.
    It helps to give higher priority to getting of PPDs than to
    getting list of printers (#614581).
