    Bump timeout.

    The printing takes a lot longer now. It seems related to <del><a class='issue tracker-1 status-3 priority-4 priority-default closed child' href='/code/issues/7771' title='Attempting to print hangs the Unsafe Browser'>Bug #7771</a></del> --
    setting print.postscript.cups.enabled = false makes it take just a few
    seconds again. I am not sure if that has other negative consequences,
    so I'll go with the timeout bump for now.

This suggests that cupsd, or the communication between Tor Browser and cupsd, is broken (Bug #7771 was about the firewall blocking connections to cupsd, and Firefox taking a long time to realize that), which might be the actual problem we want to solve here.

I’ll at least check if this affects non-test-suite usage.

I’ve reverted that commit and the two printing operations from features/torified_browsing.feature pass just fine. Manual testing shows printing to PDF takes a few seconds as well. Can you please revert the commit and try reproducing the symptoms that made you apply it in the first place?

  • Target version changed from Tails_1.8 to Tails_2.0

Given my test results above, it can wait a bit.

I cannot reproduce this, so I reverted the commit and pushed it straight into testing.
