Problem is excessive logging by the HPLIP software (probably the CUPS backend) in an error case. Forwarding upstream.
To the HP developers, some part of HPLIP, probably the printer I/O part which is used by the "hp" CUPS backend seems to try to access the printer several thousand times per second and on each failure a log message is produced (perhaps one per byte to be sent). This excess of log messages quickly fills up any size of hard disk. If a problem occurs repeatedly, one could perhaps issue one log message and tell how many times the problem repeated. One could also give up or wait some seconds if a certain piece of data sent leads to an error instead of trying to resend it several thousad times per second. -- USB printer message fills up logs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
