[Till Kamppeter <1378438@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The /tmp getting quickly filled up with links to PPD files is treated in
bug 1156398.

A workaround for bug 1156398 is to deactivate the system-config-printer
applet and/or the system-config-printer D-Bus service by removing the
read bits from the appropriate files, for example:

sudo chmod -r /usr/share/system-config-printer/scp-dbus-service.py

Does this solve the problem for you?

Title:
  Printer dialog stuck on "Getting printer information..."

Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In GTK+3/gnome-3 apps (eg evince), when I select my network-discovered
  printer, the "Status" field changes to "Getting printer
  information..." and the mouse cursor goes into spinning icon, and the
  Print button stays disabled, so I cannot print.

  In Firefox, the status tells me the printer is low on toner, but
  allows me to print.
