Package: cups Version: 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 Severity: normal I discovered this morning that a computer running CUPS and using printers advertised from another CUPS server has been resending print jobs whenever its logs are rotated. The remote server was printing the job, but it would remain in the queue on the local server.
The page_log looks like this: rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:07:59:54 -0700] 1 1 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:07:59:54 -0700] total 0 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:07:59:55 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:07:59:56 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:07:59:58 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:01 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:06 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:14 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:16 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:19 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:19 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:21 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:26 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:34 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:35 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:36 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:38 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - rtc-xxxxxxx xxxxx 273 [03/Jan/2014:08:00:42 -0700] total 5 - localhost xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf - - The error log contains messages like this: E [03/Jan/2014:07:59:46 -0700] Failed to update TXT record for Lexmark International Lexmark E260dn @ xxxxxxxxxxxx.utah.edu: -2 E [03/Jan/2014:07:59:46 -0700] Failed to update TXT record for test-e260dn @ xxxxxxxxxxxx.utah.edu: -2 E [03/Jan/2014:07:59:51 -0700] SLPReg of "Lexmark-E260dn" failed with status -20!

There's no mention of the printer this problem was observed on. After deleting the job and the disconnected & apparently-unrelated printer, I was not able to reproduce this problem again, even when printing the same file. I verified that the PostScript being sent was the same. I saved the contents of /var/log/cups, /var/cache/cups and /var/spool/cups from before I deleted anything, so I do have these files available for investigation. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cups depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii bc 1.06.95-2+b1 ii cups-client 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 ii cups-common 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 ii cups-filters 1.0.18-2.1 ii cups-ppdc 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii dpkg 1.16.12 ii ghostscript 9.05~dfsg-6.3+deb7u1 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.31-2 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.31-2 ii libc-bin 2.13-38 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libcups2 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 ii libcupscgi1 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 ii libcupsimage2 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 ii libcupsmime1 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 ii libcupsppdc1 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1+deb7u1 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libgnutls26 2.12.20-7 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.10.1+dfsg-5+deb7u1 ii libkrb5-3 1.10.1+dfsg-5+deb7u1 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.31-1+nmu2 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpaper1 1.1.24+nmu2 ii libslp1 1.2.1-9 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.11-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8+deb7u1 ii poppler-utils 0.18.4-6 ii procps 1:3.3.3-3 ii ssl-cert 1.0.32 Versions of packages cups recommends: ii avahi-daemon 0.6.31-2 ii colord 0.1.21-1 ii foomatic-filters 4.0.17-1 ii ghostscript-cups 9.05~dfsg-6.3+deb7u1 ii printer-driver-gutenprint 5.2.9-1 Versions of packages cups suggests: ii cups-bsd 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 pn cups-pdf <none> ii foomatic-db 20120523-1 ii hplip 3.12.6-3.1+deb7u1 ii printer-driver-hpcups 3.12.6-3.1+deb7u1 ii smbclient 2:3.6.6-6+deb7u2 ii udev 175-7.2 -- debconf information: cupsys/raw-print: true cupsys/backend: ipp, ipp14, lpd, socket, usb, snmp, dnssd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
