Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.7-4etch3
Severity: normal
The cupsd process is leaking memory. It is not a major problem on a
server with plenty of memory, but on a fairly busy print server with
aproximately 60 users it loses about 2 MB daily. The server is
monitored with jffnms so it's quite obvious that the process is eating
memory that is not released until a process restart.
I can add that most if not all print jobs are raw - ie. they come from
Windows clients through Samba and are already formatted for the intented
printer. All printers attached using network sockets so in this case
Cups is merely acting as a spooler.

Dear Debian User,
This bug report was submitted against a version of CUPS that is no
longer supported in Debian. Use of our limited, volunteer supported
resources is best served by not keeping around old, hardware-specific
and inactive bugs for longer than necessary, so the bug is now being
closed.
You may, of course, wish to review the reported problem. It would be
appreciated if any future investigation could be conducted using the
testing or unstable distributions. If found necessary, a new bug report,
possibly referencing this one, would be submitted. Please note there are
now separate cups and cups-filters packages.
Thank you for your report.
Regards,
Brian.
