Nothing to do with cups; perhaps eggcups?
With the eggcups clue in hand, I located your description of the problem here: http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/general-list/2003q2/003931.html Would it be correct to asssume that a fix is in progress along the lines you suggested in this message or has this already been addressed and we are looking at a different problem now? Thanks, Mike Klinke
eggcups is an entirely different animal now. If it's polling every five seconds, that's probably not what we want..
This is probably eggcups polling (via libgnomecups) for new (and removed) printers. To fix this we'd need to emit a D-BUS signal when the printer list changes instead of polling.
This should be fixed with the latest libgnomecups and cups uploads which should show up after FC2t2.
