Description Oliver Ilian 2019-04-15 14:55:48 UTC

Description of problem:
When adding several printers via a loop and lpadmin from a cups server locally, and you have the gnome-settings print plugin open, it stalls for ~20-30 seconds (depends on the number of printers). Eventually, it will come back to life after some time.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-settings-daemon-3.28.1-2.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add >40 printers via lpadmin in a loop from a cups server to your system
2.
3.

Actual results:
Gnome-settings is hanging for several seconds

Expected results:
UI should respond

Additional info:
The amount of printers is due to some of our offices having a high amount of printers

Without using loop several printers can't be installed and looking doe a software which can install multiple printers easily as loop process is hard to implement. https://www.printersrepairnearme.com/blog/fixed-the-issue-hp-printer-not-activated-error-code-30/ assured me for the solution and getting Gnome set.

Comment 9 Michal Odehnal 2020-12-07 15:02:05 UTC

Unable to reproduce with gnome-control-center-3.28.2-24.el8.x86_64. Moving to VERIFIED.
