Description Unknown 2003-03-03 19:46:21 UTC 
When OpenOffice is configured to use a printer using CUPS (Common Unix Printing
System), restarting OpenOffice while the remote print server is not present
causes OpenOffice to wait for a very long time (5-10 min) before it opens.

This has been tested under Redhat Linux 8.0 on several different workstations.

cp->pl: Can we change the popen() to osl processes and 'fix' the
problem with Tinos (not yet integrated) osl_joinProcessWithTimeout() ?
(though we'd end up with no print queue).
We at least have to take this into account when doing a cups
implementation.
Please go for Beta2 if you see a chance to get this resolved

I think this cannot be our problem; every application that uses CUPS
has that same problem, so it should be fixed in CUPS.
Comment 4 philipp.lohmann 2003-03-14 10:37:06 UTC 
IMHO timouting the CUPS command is not an alternative as it leaves OOo
without a queue to print to. 5 minutes timeout on CUPS side is a
little long, so perhaps they should shorten it a bit.
