Well, not exactly. Our bug has been probably caused by this patch.
Marek Kasik proposed another solution, which is: "to revert commit named 'Speed up printer listing in the
print dialog' in gtk (SHA1 ID: dd52987d1fe3c3481fffc5b776fcac6b02114b01). Those timeouts are too short
for the socket probably. This workaround helps if it is not related to the socket (e.g. remote print server)."

He will have a look at this code perhaps this week, but it doesn't mean that we'll get the updates very soon. The solution provided by Marek above (https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ gtk+2.0/ +bug/475845/ comments/ 29) works fine for me.
