Hi, does someone know where okular is getting the printer list from? When I try to print something okular hangs for the next few minutes, obviously trying to contact some printers it found/knows. Starting from command line I can see begin enumerating printers printomat _ _ 1 HP_Color_LaserJet_MFP_M277dw_Peter_s_MacBook_Pro _ _ 2 HP_Color_LaserJet_4700_tine_thinkpad _ _ 3 HP_DeskJet_5820_series_Poonam_s_MacBook_Pro _ _ 4 end enumerating printers 1 (printomat) is the only one defined in cups (as local queue, smb printer) I disabled cups-browsed, Browsing in cupsd.conf is 'No', too An 'lpstat -a' only lists the printomat printer. Is okular/kde browsing by itself? Or is this some cache corpse from earlier? It's really annoying having to wait that long for printing something :(( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yuck, found it: avahi-daemon, activated via dbus :o So after a woodstock:~ # systemctl disable avahi-daemon.service Removed /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/avahi-daemon.service. Removed /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service. woodstock:~ # systemctl disable avahi-daemon.socket Removed /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/avahi-daemon.socket. I'm no longer blocked by those users that export their configured remote printers Is that avahi thing neccessary/useful for other stuff, or can it stay disabled? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, it is supposed to find other machines and what they export, where they are, etc. But I thought that it did the searching in background and gave the info when requested, no need to wait. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

So I'd probably know if I needed it - which means I don't :D

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... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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.

Hehe, I'm one of those happy Zion people that live without the connectors. I'm Windows-free even at the office, since more than 20 Years :D

Good :-) Maybe iphone or Android tablets? [...] Ah, yes, I forgot Macs.
