pitti, are you sure that Jockey does only the OpenPrinting driver
request and no full system hardware scan when called by system-config-
printer?

Title:
  Add printer takes too long (users cancel before completing)

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “system-config-printer” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Watching a new user install a Network printer takes too long.  A
  progress bar is shown, and continues to beat back and forth, but the
  operation takes so long that the user ends up cancelling the process.

  One month early I watched another user do precisely the same
  cancellation at the same point while adding the same network printer
  on the same network.

  Ideally the progress could be changed from a bouncing bar, to a
  progressing bar.  This would give a sense of competition, that is
  lacking in the bouncing bar.

  It would probably even be tolerable to have a completion bar that
  times at the end.  This would replace an unknown with a known.
