Maybe a slightly different bug, but I see a very similar issue in libreoffice: I have cups configured for the printers at work. When I open a presentation at home (does not happen very often), libreoffice freezes for 2-3 minutes when opening (so not even a print-dialog involved!), after which it works correctly. Commenting the line 'ServerName cupserver.mywork.com' in /etc/cups/client.conf, libreoffice opens instantly. I learned this the hard way when I was away on a conference and had to update my presentation 2 hours before my talk. Took me some stressful minutes and a packet-sniffer before I found the problem :).

Both systems are ubuntu systems running cups servers. When the computer with the printer is powered down and I try to print from a Gnome application, the program hangs for 1-3 minutes before displaying the print dialog. If the external print server is on the print dialog appears immediately. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, the external server is running 8.04, and cups 1.3.9-2ubuntu6.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/common-print-dialog-gtk/+bug/322931/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
