Package: cups
Version: 1.5.3-5+deb7u4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
in the last week I've had two of our servers fill up the hard disk with
errors in the cups error_log:

I haven't been able to figure out the root cause of this issue yet, but I
think the fact that CUPS is filling up the hard disk with logs is a bug on its
own which should be prevented somehow.

I am closing this bug report because cups provides MaxLogSize in cupsd.conf.
The Debian default is "0".
Thank you for the report and we hope you get to the root of your issue.

Brian.
