bug#49106: slow load for cups /admin page

[Christopher Howard]

Hi, ever since I have started using Guix a few years ago, I have always found that the cups page at http://127.0.0.1:631/admin load very slowly, with nothing appearing on the Web browser page for something like two minutes. The home page (http://127.0.01:631) loads very quickly, and also other pages you select after you get to the admin page (e.g., modifying a printer) load quickly. I have had this problem across multiple Guix computers using different printers. I am wondering if all CUPS installations in the world have this problem, which seems unlikely, or if it is something specific to the Guix service configuration.

This is the cups service entry for my system:

    (service cups-service-type

     (cups-configuration

      (web-interface? #t)

      (log-level 'debug)

      (access-log-level 'all)

      (extensions

       (list hplip-minimal cups-filters))))
