"Retrieving printer driver information" runs
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/create_printer_ppd_database
which has a built-in timeout after which
it kills itself so that it cannot hang up.
While the main YCP program runs the external program
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/create_printer_ppd_database
all the main YCP program can do is to wait.
As far as I know it is not possible to keep
the main program active so that it could react
on a user input (e.g. clicking a [Cancel] button).
As far as I know the root cause is that I cannot
create a sub-process in YCP (there is no "fork" in YCP)
to let both the main YCP program and the external program
run simultaneously.
