Description of problem: When printing a document, it is expected that the printer state reasons will contain "connecting-to-device" to start with, and that it will disappear shortly thereafter (i.e. once it has actually connected to it). There is a "Not connected?" notification shown immediately on printing a document to a printer that *is* connected. Instead, gnome-settings-daemon should wait (e.g. for 60s, like system-config-printer does). If "connecting-to-device" is *continuously* set for 60 seconds, then it's appropriate to show a notification about it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-settings-daemon-3.2.0-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Print anything to a connected printer. Actual results: Unexpected notification that the printer is not connected. Expected results: No unusual notifications.
I also see this with an HP PSC 1610. Filed bug 745630

Hi, I've committed a patch upstream which adds a timeout when encounters "connecting-to-device" reason. Its callback shows the notification "Not connected?" if not removed by removing of the reason from printer-state-reasons. It will be part of g-s-d 3.2.1. Regards Marek
