This problem still exists in 8.10.

My work has a cups server, and my /etc/cups/client.conf points to this server by ip.

When that ip is not available (ie not on the work network) cups hangs for roughly 5 minutes. This seems to affect any program that uses cups (including wine, which will hang for roughly 5 minutes before it starts any program).
