[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#543468: RIPCache

[Matthew Sachs]

This happens to me, too, and I don't have a ~/.cups/client.conf .  (I 
do, however, have "ServerName printserver.company.invalid" in the 
system-wide /etc/cups/client.conf .)

I did ps axf while it was hung prompting for the password, and the 
command doing the prompting was: cupsctl RIPCache=3083788k

As a workaround, I commented out the call to set_ripcache in the initscript.
