I have observed that the unresponsiveness of the printer notifier is
related to the length of time a printer takes to consume the job data. I
have 3 instances of xubuntu 14.04 (on physical machines) that send jobs
to the same lpd print server. The laser printer attached to that server
has a "deep sleep" mode. When asleep, it takes 60 seconds to "wake" and
emit the first page. The notifier often hangs if the printer is asleep.
At all other times pages are emitted within seconds and the notifier
behaves as expected.

I have installed b3nmore's experimental scp-dbus-service.py (reply #28)
on all 3 machines. Superficially it seems to have corrected the problem.
I will report back when I've seen a lot more jobs pass through this
printer.

Title:
  printer icon does not disappear

Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I have a network printer installed, which is connected at my router.

  The printer was working ever, but now (maybe after the upgrade to
  saucy), the printer icon freezes after a network print but printing is
  working.

  Now I could reproduce this at a clean xubuntu vm with the current
  upgrades and the same happens again.

  I think that is may be related to cups.

  Cups error log is clear.

  Xubuntu 13.10 64Bit
  Kernel 3.11.0-18

  
  UPDATE:

  I append the "apport-collect" from a clean xubuntu 14.04 64bit vm,
  where I reproduced this bug.

  I hope this can be fixed, it is annoying.

  Thanks.
