>From gnome-cups-printer.c:

#define UPDATE_TIMEOUT 5000
...
update_timeout_id =3D g_timeout_add (UPDATE_TIMEOUT,
                                   update_printers_timeout,
                                   NULL);

So the printer timeout should be 3 seconds.  There is another timeout
which obtains the queue details, this is only ran when the exact queue
is requested and runs every 5 seconds.

Of course, if you can provide proof that g-c-m is sending more requests
that it should, that is good.
