A stop job is running for...
Make remote CUPS printers available locally
Network Time Synchronization
For several weeks I've been seeing this stop job notification for these
two items frequently when rebooting or shutting down two of my four
testing systems.
The first notification counts all the way up to 1 min 30 sec before the
shutdown scroll restarts. The second notification only counts for a few
seconds before terminating.
I'm a patient guy, but adding almost two minutes to almost every restart
or shutdown procedure gets a bit tedious after a while.
This is a small home network with 4 systems running Debian Stretch and
two printers. One printer is attached via USB to one of the Stretch
systems showing the error. It is shared on the network. The other
printer is a network MFP attached via CAT5e to the router.
The two Stretch systems which show this behavior are both used directly
through the desktop environment. The other two PCs are only accessed
ordinarily via SSH, and I have not seen them display the notification.
(They sit near my workstation, and I can watch their screens when
rebooting or shutting them down.)
The systems use Xfce DE and LightDM. The USB printer was set up using
CUPS. The network MFP was installed using the hp-setup utility from
hplip. Both printers are installed on all four systems.
The only possibly related hit when searching -- interestingly enough --
concerned cups-bsd in the MacOS and the HP LaserJet 1300 printer from a
few years ago. An HP LaserJet 1300 happens to be the USB-attached
printer on this network. The only advice offered to fix the problem was
to restart the computer and the printer. I didn't think that would fix
the issue, and it didn't.
I found nothing pertinent in the Debian bug tracker on the cups-bsd package.
Suggestions, anyone?
I'm grateful for your time and any ideas you might provide.
