[Till Kamppeter <1455212@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sanjay, I have prepared the fix now and uploaded the fixed packages to
Wily (Ubuntu15.10 under development) and to the proposed package
repository for Vivid (current 15.04 release). To get it to be an
official update for 15.04 it needs to get tested and feddback to given
here. As soon as the 15.04 package is approved for testing instructions
will get posted here. Please follow them and give your feedback whether
you get quick print queue creation and permission setting for both IPP-
over-USB asnd non-IPP-over-USB printers.

Thanks in advance.

Title:
  IPP-over-USB support broken

Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in system-config-printer source package in Vivid:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The support for IPP-over-USB printers in udev-configure-printer is
  broken, leading to the following two problems:

  1. If the printer connected to USB supports IPP-over-USB, the
  automatic generation of a print queue can hang for three minutes

  2. If the printer connected to USB does not support IPP-over-USB udev-
  configure-printer calls ippusbxd anyway and errors out, not creating a
  print queue.

  This occurs in Vivid and Wily.

  [Impact]

  All Vivid users with a USB printer will not get automatic setup of
  print queues (printer does not do IPP-over-USB) or a print queue setup
  delayed by around 3 minutes (IPP-over-USB printers).

  [Test Case]

  Connect a USB printer for which there is not yet set up a local print
  queue. Usually within some seconds a print queue is set up
  automatically for it. No queue gets set up, for IPP-over-USB printers
  it takes around three minutes to get a print queue.

  The proposed package fixes this problem.

  [Regression Potential]

  Very low. The patch is trivial and it affects only the automatic setup
  of USB printers. Network printer setup and manual setup of USB
  printers or printing on already existing queues is not affected.
