SUMMARY

First of all, I am sorry that I could not find the correct classification for this bug.

The print dialog takes a very log time from all QT applications to pop up when I press CTRL+P or select form the menu "File" -> "Print".
It appears within a second from all GTK applications.
The printers are served by a CUPS server and the cups-browsed service is running on the client.
I can observe this slow behavior on all computers.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open Kwrite or another KDE application
2.  Press CTRL+P or select "File" -> "Print" form the menu

OBSERVED RESULT
It takes 5 seconds or more until the print dialog is displayed.

EXPECTED RESULT
The print dialog should pop up winthin a second like from GTK applications.

The print dialog comes from Qt, so this will unfortunately be a Qt issue. Feel free to report it at https://bugreports.qt.io.

I can *sort of* reproduce the issue, FWIW. It takes maybe 1.5 seconds to come up for me, with one locally connected printer. Not 5 seconds, but it's definitely not instant, either.
