system-config-printer freezes forever

[atimonin]

It freezes forever and even control-C doesn't help, only closing parent window.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Christopher (soft-kristal)]

I reported a splix bug (964665) as I thought it just affected my Samsung printer, but it's clearly system-config-printer as it affects all printing; even to a PDF.

I also have an AMD64 on a Lenovo IdeaPad platform.

[Christopher (soft-kristal)]

I just tried printing on my old Lenovo 32 bit with an Intel chip and ran system-config-printer immediately afterwards with no issue at all. Perhaps it's an AMD or AMD 64 bit problem.

[Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst)]

Please open a terminal window and run the command: system-config-printer --debug 2>&1 | tee log.txt
After that attach the file log.txt to this bug report. Do not compress the file.

[Christopher (soft-kristal)]

It no longer affects me, and in any case I'm running Ubuntu Gnome Trusty now as my primary OS. There are no printing issues.
