Bug Description
As I do not have a printer which needs a driver download from OpenPrinting, I test Jockey by uninstalling "splix" and then running
dbus-send --print-reply --dest=
This calls Jockey the same way as a printer setup tool should do when it detects a Samsung ML-1610. Jockey then comes up and tells that the SpliX driver is available for download. Clicking the appropriate button lets a password dialog appear and a few seconds after entering the password the LSB package of the driver gets downloaded and installed.
Closing Jockey and running the above-mentioned command again also opens the Jockey windo but this time telling that SpliX is already installed and active. Clicking for uninstalling/
This uninstallation should either be started much more quickly or a wait message window telling that the uninstallation is prepared should appear.

It takes some 4 seconds for me (time between entering password and the progress dialog starting), and the entire removal takes no longer than 10. I wonder what happens for you, then. Can you please do
sudo killall jockey-backend jockey/ jockey- backend --debug -l /tmp/jockey.log
sudo /usr/share/
then do the procedure you described again? After that, Control-C the jockey-backend process, and attach /tmp/jockey.log. Thanks!
