Details

Updated libgnomecups packages that fix a bug are now available.

libgnomecups is a GNOME library for CUPS integration.

These updated packages address the following bug:

* the previous version of libgnomecups would ask CUPS for a printer's name
and would then query the CUPS server for the attributes of every printer
name returned. In environments with a large number of CUPS printer queues,
this caused gnome-default-printer to take minutes to display the Default
Printer window. With this update, libgnomecups only asks for the printer
names. (Please note, the 'printer name' request returns other necessary
information, such as the printer description and job queue count.) With
this update installed, the Default Printer window now presents promptly,
even when there are thousands of CUPS printer queues available.

All users of GNOME and CUPS should install this update which addresses this
issue.
