Well, it is supposed to find other machines and what they export, where they are, etc.
So I'd probably know if I needed it - which means I don't :D
Maybe connect to a Windows folder in the office? But if you don't miss anything, it is fine to stop the service. I did some years ago, but now it is running.
But I thought that it did the searching in background and gave the info when requested, no need to wait.
This probably is okular itself. I can see (on command line) that the printer list is indeed there immediately, the hang comes after building the printer list. Likely okular tries to get the settings for all those printers before continuing, and as those laptops do only advertize their printers but don't react on connects it runs into timeouts....
Not sure if that could be called a bug (rather not), but maybe a better solution would be to only request more info if one of those is actually selected...
Certainly. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
