I worked out the problem. Even though CUPS had been deinstalled some
time ago, mozilla appeared to be honouring the contents of
/etc/cups/client.conf and hanging while trying to talk to a
non-existent printer.
The bugs then are:
-- timeout too long while trying to talk to a non-existent printer
queue
-- Honouring obsolete information (possibly a cups or xprint bug:
--- after
apt-get remove cupsys-client
I don't expect anything to try using /etc/cups/*
)
