[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#375359: cupsys-client: sid cups client, sarge cups server >> printing does not work anymore

[Peder Chr. Norgaard]

Hello.
 	I may have supplementary information on this bug.   I have 
a similar setup, with debian sid cupsys 1.2.1 and a server 
(non-debian) running cupsys 1.1.

 	Instead of printing from command line I am using a graphical tool 
(acroread).  Here printing always works, *but* with really large delays: 
When I push the "Print" menu entry, about 20 seconds pass before the print 
window pops up; when I select a printer, a similar amount of time pass 
before I can continue.

 	I snooped a little on the traffic with the server, and it seems 
that three or four pretty long TCP sessions, with several seconds interval 
between them, were run just to get the print window to pop up.  I could 
imaging that the command line printer commands just give up instead.

 	Could this be a case of badly coded backwards compatibility?

 	Hope this information helps.

best regards
