[opensuse] printer access is very slow in case of netrwork failure
Hello: This is on openSUSE 11.2. Because of system service some of our LAN's services was off for a while today. This means that kinternet icon showed a connected network and network traffic, but the nameserver part indicated a "waiting for reply' status. DHCP test timed out: # dhcpcd --test eth0 err, eth0: timed out Under these conditions I noticed that access of printers became very slow. For example in adobe reader it took 60-80 second to just show up the print dialog. Opening print properties dialog in it also took ~40 seconds, while sending a page to the printer took 40-70 secs. I measured similar delays in KPDF/kprinter. After turning off the network (hang up net connection in kinternet) accessing the printers was normal, showingprint dialog immediately, sending pages to the printer 1 sec. Connecting to the network again - printer access delayed again. Is this normal behavior? Well better to ask if this is known? I guess it might be related to cups server. But it definitely should not be such delays when printing independently of network status.

Check your printer configuration in YaST. If cups is looking for network printers then it is normal to give some time for network connection to time out and then create list of printers. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
