Package: libcupsys2
Version: 1.1.20final-15
Severity: normal

When I run gnumeric, it hangs for about ten minutes during initialization
The strace output stalls at an attempt to connect to a CUPS server:

  socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 17
  fcntl64(17, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)        = 0
  setsockopt(17, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
  setsockopt(17, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0
  connect(17, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.0.5")}, 16 <unfinished ...>

I happen to be on the road, so the machine normally running my CUPS server
is not available.  I expect more graceful handling of this case, as
we don't want applications to (appear to) stop working just because a print
server is down.

I'd file this bug against the gnome print system, but I notice that the KDE
print system has the same bad behaviour (kprinter hangs on initialization).
Therefore I'm assuming the issue is with libcupsys.  Please reassign if
that's not the case.  Or perhaps the timeout can be adjusted someplace--
please let me know.

Hello,

this bug report has not been updated for years, is hard to reproduce,
and/or is likely fixed in current cups packages in Lenny. Therefore I
am closing it now. If you disagree and still have the problem, please
speak up, then I will reopen.

Thank you!

Martin
