Description of problem:
eggcups constantly calls gethostbyname("localhost") (or a function which results
in the same kind of lookup).  This is on a machine which uses a remote printer.
 The lookup happens about once ever 3-4 secs.  This really shouldn't be
necessary.  The IP address won't change.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
desktop-printing-0.1.10-6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start machine with Gnome desktop
2.add eggcups to panel
3.
    

Actual Results:  one host lookup every couple of seconds

Expected Results:  One lookup at startup time

Additional info:

You can observe the lookup by running nscd in debug mode

/usr/sbin/nscd -d

make sure nscd isn't running already.
