Hmm, is this new in 10.3?

I opened Printer Setup Utility to add a printer and it briefly flashed the spinner with a text "Searching for drivers".

I had a number of network printers already setup, so could it have been checking online for updates?

Or merely loading up local files?

I also vaguely recall one HP LaserJet having gained extra options in the print dialog, but that might be psychosomatic.

i think it's just searching local drives. I got that for a good while, before it informed me that I had no drivers installed for my Epson C80. I had to go back to disc 3 and re-run the printer drivers installer, then everything checked out okay next time I launced Printer Setup Utility.
