Hi,
I am using Bluez 4.48 in Ubuntu Karmic. First thank you for applying my
patches. The bluetooth backend works perfectly now with CUPS 1.3.x and
older. On the new CUPS 1.4.x a new problem appeared: The new CUPS does
device discovery only for a given time frame requested by the client
(printer setup tool, "lpinfo" command). CUPS's default for
CUPS-1.3.x-ish requests without timeout specification seems to be 10
seconds. CUPS startys all backends at once in the beginning (in
parallel) and kills every backend which remains running at the end of
the timeout. It accepts output from the backends whenever it occurs not
only when the backend finishes, so a backend can search for printers
infinitely long if it outputs every found device immediately. Then all
printers found during CUPS' timeout are taken into account.
The bluetooth backend o 4.48 asks the Bluetooth daemon for printers and
collects results for 10 seconds and after that it output them. This
takes a total of 10.5 sec and so CUPS kills the backend right before it
answers (at least with the 10-second default timeout), resulting in
Bluetooth printers never being discovered by CUPS.
I have fixed this now with the attached patch, by making each new
printer added to the list being output immediately. Note that the list
structure cannot be removed from cups/main.c as otherwise we would get
duplicate listings.
Can you please apply this patch to Bluez so that Bluez gets ready for
the new CUPS 1.4.x generation? Thanks.
