In Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic), there are two packages that can be involved in gnome printer norifications: gnome-settings-daemon and unity-settings- daemon. The latter package seems to be a fork of the former, for Unity use I suppose.
These two packages come with a printer notification plugin. The one of gnome-settings-daemon is /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-printer and the other is /usr/lib/unity-settings-daemon/usd-printer. I found that if the gnome-flashback session (a.ka. "Gnome Classic") is used, the printer notification plugin involved is usd-printer, from the unity-settings-daemon package. I guess that gsd-printer is used in a Gnome Shell session (I don't use it so I can test my guessing). So, to remove the connecting-to-printer false error message, I think the safest approach is to patch both packages, just by adding the lines: if (g_str_has_prefix (reason, "connecting-to-device")) return TRUE; to the reason_is_blacklisted() static function in gsd-print- notifications-manager.c. A patch is attached for the gnome-settings-daemon package and I'll also fill a bug report with a patch for the unity-settings-daemon package. ** Patch added: "suppress-printer-connecting-to-device-notifification.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1202198/+attachment/4329475/+files/suppress-printer-connecting-to-device-notifification.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202198 Title: gnome-settings daemon notifies as error an info message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1202198/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
