i tried again from a new config, and could reproduce. then i remembered.
the problem is that i have a line 'Server 192.168.0.11' in
/etc/cups/clients.conf, whereas the server can not be reached as i am
not on this network at the moment.

it may sound like my config is wrong, but i expect quite a few laptops
will actually meet this situation.

i already reported a bug about this (#292367) against gnome-cups-manager
just about a year ago. it would be really nice if somehow it would take
less than 12 minutes to pop out with the message 'cups server cannot be
contacted'...

Ross, any idea on this?

cheers, piem
