The most likely cause for this type of hang is that printing is trying to contact a network name service like NIS or remote print service that is down. If you are not really sharing printing configuration via a network name service, make sure that the "printers" entry only contains "user files". Also, you might remove entries for queues on print servers that aren't accessible. More info might help determine what exactly is going on. output from the following is often useful. determine what printing related services are running # svcs '*print*' '*cups*' determine which print service is supposed to be active # print-service -q determine the LP client queue enumeration/resolution search order # grep printers /etc/nsswitch.conf determine the configured/"interesting" queues # lpstat -v supply the list of queues known to the LP based print client # cat /etc/printers.conf
