@Daniel: Things I would be interested in: 1. Do your VMs have multiple virtual CPUs or just one? If multiple, could you reconfigure one of them to only one CPU and check if the problem persists? 2. Could you post the last couple lines (maybe about 100) before a crash from your error log ? 3. How do your clients print to the cups servers? Just using lp or lpr or some cups aware GUI? I guess since they are Macs, it really is a cups aware GUI, which also means they use http requests to figure out the list of printers.
Note: On ubuntu, we don't need your workaround to restart cups, because upstart is configured to restart cups automatically when it crashes (which also made it quite hard for me to figure out what was wrong because I didn't notice the crashes till I investigated the log files more thoroughly). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512220 Title: cupsd crash "Closing on unknown HTTP state 0" Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: cups I often get trouble with cupsd crashing and Apport saying the following: The problem cannot be reported: The program crashed on an assertion failure, but the message could not be retrieved. Apport does not support reporting these crashes. I think the crash is due to my having a saved Firefox session with Cups' administration window (http://localhost:631/admin) in it. The crash seems to occur when this session is restored as part of the session restore when I log in to my desktop environment. I have turned on debug-logging and can see the following: D [25/Jan/2010:08:57:16 +0100] cupsdReadClient: 11 GET /images/cups-icon.png HTTP/1.1 D [25/Jan/2010:08:57:16 +0100] cupsdSetBusyState: Active clients D [25/Jan/2010:08:57:16 +0100] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.

Make sure your favorite browser is set to restore the last session on reload. 1) Load http://localhost:631/admin in your favorite browser. 2) Restart your computer. 3) Log in to your desktop environment. Expected result: The CUPS administration window should be loaded in your browser. Actual result: The CUPS administration window fails to load. The browser says: "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." It is not consistently reproducible, but I would say I see a failure rate of 80 %. It happens on both of my test machines.
