It seems it falls back.
It gets the PPD file from cups, then parses it.
// update the printer info with context information
ppd_file_t* pPPD = m_pCUPSWrapper->ppdOpenFile(
aPPDFile.getStr() );
if( pPPD )
{
[...]
// set system default paper; printer CUPS PPD options
// may overwrite it
setDefaultPaper( rContext );
for( int i = 0; i < pPPD->num_groups; i++ )
updatePrinterContextInfo( pPPD->groups + i,
rContext );
rInfo.m_pParser = pNewParser;
rInfo.m_aContext = rContext;
// clean up the mess
m_pCUPSWrapper->ppdClose( pPPD )
}
#if OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL > 1
else
fprintf( stderr, "ppdOpenFile failed, falling back to
generic driver\n" );
#endif
(above from OOos cupsmgr.cxx)
... and falls back to the generic driver. Note how it sets the default paper
based on the PPD.
Please try the lib from http://zyklop.dyndns.org/~rene/587301/libvcllx.so
(built with -DOSL_DEBUG_LEVEL=2)
to get all those OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL-guarded fprintfs printed to the console so
that we know what exactly is
going on.
But I don't really care if it turns out that it's really because of your cups
server need 30s to be reached,
that setup is such completely broken....
