Title:
IPP-over-USB support broken
Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in system-config-printer source package in Vivid:
Fix Released
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.
