Package: cups Version: 1.5.2-8 Tags: upstream Hi,
Trying to use cups with the hpcups driver as a print server, I found that printing anything (e.g., a test page) with nothing else happening would slow the server to a crawl. "top" shows gs using 200 MiB or so of address space, with ~130 MiB resident; "free" shows nonzero swap usage but not terrible. This machine has only 150 MiB of RAM to work with, so anything more than 100 MiB is a lot of memory for one application to ask for. With "RIPCache 16m" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf the system seems to be sane again and printing is still working fine. changelog.Debian.gz says cups (1.4.1-2) unstable; urgency=low * Add dynamic-default-ripcache-size.dpatch: Replace above functionality by setting the internal default value of RIPCache to MemTotal/4, if not given in the configuration file. which sounds promising, but then I see the actual code: cupsdSetString(&RIPCache, "128m"); Perhaps this functionality was ripped out. Intentional? Thanks for making printing on Linux possible. Sincerely, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
