Bug#750498: cups: server keeps timing out after 30secs idling with no way to change that

[Nemo Inis <nemoinis@hotmail.com>]

Package: cups
Version: 1.7.2-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Ever since cups 1.7.2-2, which contains a patch for bug #742666, and my switch
to systemd, the cups server exits after 30 seconds idling without a
configuration option to prevent that.  In my case, that means:

- when I'm using the cups web interface at localhost:631, if I wait more than
30 seconds before clicking on anything, my browser reports "unable to connect"
and I've lost whatever work I was in the middle of (for example adding a
printer, etc...);

- cups starts/stops throughout the day, and every time, it triggers colord
(which I also run), which loads all my profiles, etc... and fills my syslog
telling me so;

- since I'm running a desktop machine, I'd rather not have settings meant for
laptops forced down on me; I'd like the option to run cups permanently without
timeout as it did before.

Thanks!
