I have observed that the unresponsiveness of the printer notifier is related to the length of time a printer takes to consume the job data. I have 3 instances of xubuntu 14.04 (on physical machines) that send jobs to the same lpd print server. The laser printer attached to that server has a "deep sleep" mode. When asleep, it takes 60 seconds to "wake" and emit the first page. The notifier often hangs if the printer is asleep. At all other times pages are emitted within seconds and the notifier behaves as expected.
I have installed b3nmore's experimental scp-dbus-service.py (reply #28) on all 3 machines. Superficially it seems to have corrected the problem. I will report back when I've seen a lot more jobs pass through this printer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to system-config-printer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1291075 Title: printer icon does not disappear Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, I have a network printer installed, which is connected at my router. The printer was working ever, but now (maybe after the upgrade to saucy), the printer icon freezes after a network print but printing is working. Now I could reproduce this at a clean xubuntu vm with the current upgrades and the same happens again. I think that is may be related to cups. Cups error log is clear. Xubuntu 13.10 64Bit Kernel 3.11.0-18 UPDATE: I append the "apport-collect" from a clean xubuntu 14.04 64bit vm, where I reproduced this bug. I hope this can be fixed, it is annoying.
