Package: hpijs
Version: 3.9.4b-1
Severity: important
Whenever a print job is processed by cups and the hpijs backend fails
to open the connection to the printer, it writes error messages to
syslog every 30 seconds.
In environments where printers are not always online (e.g. to save
energy) this spams the logfiles without need.
If a printer is turned off while printing, hpijs produces even more
error messages. I had a 20GB /var partition filled completely in 17
hours just by these error messages.
I would have expected such messages to be produced only once for each
print job. And the log priority should be no higher than "warning"
because such failures have no impact on the print spooler.

The hp backend was changed to return an error back to CUPS if the device is no
longer available. This means it should only loop if the device returns a valid
device-id.
Check the CUPS error policy for the specified printer queue. CUPS can
stop-printer, abort-job or retry-job. If the policy is retry-job then this may
cause the syslog to fill up.
