** Description changed:
The support for IPP-over-USB printers in udev-configure-printer is
broken, leading to the following two problems:
1. If the printer connected to USB supports IPP-over-USB, the automatic
generation of a print queue can hang for three minutes
2. If the printer connected to USB does not support IPP-over-USB udev-
configure-printer calls ippusbxd anyway and errors out, not creating a
print queue.
+
+ This occurs in Vivid and Wily.
+
+ [Impact]
+
+ All Vivid users with a USB printer will not get automatic setup of print
+ queues (printer does not do IPP-over-USB) or a print queue setup delayed
+ by around 3 minutes (IPP-over-USB printers).
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ Connect a USB printer for which there is not yet set up a local print
+ queue. Usually within some seconds a print queue is set up automatically
+ for it. No queue gets set up, for IPP-over-USB printers it takes around
+ three minutes to get a print queue.
+
+ The proposed package fixes this problem.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ Very low. The patch is trivial and it affects only the automatic setup
+ of USB printers. Network printer setup and manual setup of USB printers
+ or printing on already existing queues is not affected.
