Package: cups-filters-core-drivers
Version: 1.28.6-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I've seen some misbehavior from my printer, and tried to remove and add it
back again. This failed, with the symptoms described in
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/276736/cups-adding-printer-fails-with-unable-to-get-list-of-printer-drivers-success
that is, no matter what interface I use -- KDE, Gnome or the web
via localhost:631 -- I get the same error when trying to find
drivers for the printer:
Unable to get list of printer drivers:
Success
Following the advice on that page, I tried to see if removal of
one of the files in /usr/lib/cups/driver can help me get faster
results, and I found that the guilty script was
/usr/lib/cups/driver/driverless
I then tried to run this script in isolation, and got:
$ time /usr/lib/cups/driver/disabl/driverless list
DEBUG: Started ippfind (PID 19070)
Failed to get info about driverless support.

Noticing my specific printer named in the output -- could it be
that the script tries to communicate with it, but fails to do it
in a robust way?

Changes:
cups-filters (1.28.7-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* 1.28.7 upstream release
- driverless: Removed the support quality check from Pull request #235 as
it takes significant time for each printer being listed, making
cups-driverd (`lpinfo -m`) timing out when there are many printers
(OpenPrinting CUPS issue #65, Closes: #979177)
* Drop the driverless_support_strs symbol wrongly exported since 1.27.5
