Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bluez-cups
I have packaged CUPS 1.4.0 now and soon (before feature freeze, today or
tomorrow) it will appear in Karmic. This CUPS version has changed the
device discovery procedure to make the discovery faster. Instead of
calling all CUPS backends without arguments one after the other, always
waiting for one backend to finish before starting the next one, now all
backends are started at the same time and run in parallel. Then CUPS
waits 10 seconds collecting all output of the backends. After the 10
seconds it kills all backends which are still running.
The bluetooth backend seems to send out some broadcast and then wait 10
seconds for Bluetooth printers to answer. As it needs something like
half a second to prepare it misses always the timeout of CUPS and so
under CUPS 1.4.0 Bluetooth printers do never get discovered.
I tried to reduce the timeout of the bluetooth CUPS backend to 8
seconds, but I did not find any timeout value in the source code of
bluez. Can someone change this timeout? Thanks in advance.
