Package: cups Version: 1.5.3-5+deb7u4 Filing this bug against cups rather than cups-filters (1.0.18-2.1+deb7u1) because I think the immediate culprit is /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops, which in this version belongs to the cups package. Feel free to reassign if need be.
I'm regularly seeing leftover temporary files in /var/spool/cups/tmp, as in: 7224 1844 -rw------- 1 lp lp 1884410 Dec 22 13:34 /var/spool/cups/tmp/gs_GpMpig 7528 0 -rw------- 1 lp lp 0 Dec 22 13:34 /var/spool/cups/tmp/gs_6nFAd2 6636 24 -rw------- 1 lp lp 21688 Dec 22 13:34 /var/spool/cups/tmp/gs_thHPkn 7265 23748 -rw------- 1 lp lp 24314754 Dec 22 13:34 /var/spool/cups/tmp/gs_v58Zf9 Until I started cleaning them up in a cron job these would accumulate and eventually result in the system running out of spool space. The printer is set up as a PostScript printer (HP CLJE CP4525 with HP-supplied PPD). Correlating the time stamps with /var/log/cups/access_log suggests that this happens whenever a user cancels a job that has already started printing. I'm planning (for other reasons, see #682426, #664538) to try and switch to a PDF-oriented PPD, which I hope will work around this issue, but fixing it should still be of interest to users of printers that lack functional native PDF support. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
