@Prunkdump: Sorry for the late reply, I was out of the office. 1) We use cups to be able to print from our Linux systems to our Windows print servers. So, most of the printers setup in cups just connect to the windows print server. We also have a few virtual printers installed using custom shell scripts as backends (to print to PDF files in various locations).
2) We do not require authentication for printing on the cups server. Access to the cups admin pages is controlled via Linux group membership and credentials. The only major configuration change we made is the following in cupsd.conf: MaxJobs 20000 MaxJobsPerPrinter 15000 We do sometimes have that many jobs coming in at once in nightly processing, so we do need those queue sizes. BTW, the problem hasn't surfaced a single time since we told BIRT / the application using Java printing api to use the testing system. So I guess do expose the bug, we both need lots of print jobs occasionally (which we don't have on the testing system) and an application requesting printer information and status like BIRT. -- 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.
