If I add an unreachable CUPS server to my /etc/cups/client.conf and try to open the Print Dialog on LibreOffice, it freezes the whole UI. Suggestion: the CUPS request for printers (cupsGetDests or http request) should be done in another thread. How to reproduce: 1. Open /etc/cups/client.conf 2. Append "ServerName cups.nikhef.nl" (with no quotes), and save. 3. Open any LibreOffice application and try to print something. Actual results: UI freezes Expected results: Print Dialog to show.
Repro, but not in 5.0.4. Felipe: what version did you try with?

Strange.. it only hangs for me in 5.2.
The issue with "ghost" printer has a serious impact on the "styles and formatting" window (and "format->character" etc.), which freezes for about 5-10 seconds.

Is this still an issue with CUPS >= 2.2.7? I can't recall the details at the moment, but I remember that something has changed in CUPS that made us drop the idea of doing something similar for the Qt print dialog, s. https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/225198/ , in particular the last comment there: > Abandoning this patchset since it is quite complex (threads & stuff) and the > kind of printers it supports are no longer available on CUPS 2.2.7 so we've > decided to not increase the complexity of the code to support "old" printer > configurations. If this is no longer an issue with current CUPS versions, I suggest to close this bug as WORKSFORME as well.
I tested now with newer cups (2.2.12) and libreoffice (6.3.3.2), and it works as expected.
