Yes you're right, now that I'm alone in the system can see it polls
every 5 sec.

During the day we have 30+ users it polls a lot more, but I can change
the define, thank you very much for pointing this, it will solve my
problems for a while.

So I think this bug is severy wishlist then, and if you approve I will
retitle it as "Should support dbus enabled server to avoid excessive
polling to cups"

Thank you very much, regards,
