A week after the downgrade, I did an "apt update" and "apt upgrade" and I think <cups> was also upgraded. Since then, <cupsd> has seemed satisfied with resources under 1%, so my impression is that my problem is solved. However, I have no idea what is going on with this bug (that I reported). The status here remains "incomplete", the importance is still "undecided" and the bug is "unassigned".
It is as if the bug had somehow solved itself. Or is the status still "incomplete" due to a fault of mine? What should I do? -- 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/1835957 Title: cupsd gobbles up resources Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My computer has got very slow since 4 or 5 weeks. Finally, I checked resource usage with <top> and the culprit seems to be cupsd. Here is an output line from a few minutes after boot: 30900 root 20 0 305452 287396 5768 S 5,3 9,3 0:41.34 cupsd Then after an hour and a half (with nothing printed): 30900 root 20 0 2565692 2,125g 2240 R 79,0 71,9 93:01.45 cupsd So %CPU grows 5,3 -> 79,0 and %MEM, 9,3 -> 71,9. Not good. A user on a local forum asked whether printing anything helped, and, certainly, it did. After I did (print something), cupsd was happy with less than 1% of CPU and MEM. So if I print something after every boot, the problem does go away. But that is not really a solution, is it? Running Lubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (32-bit). cups version is 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.9.
