Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cupsys
For some reason, cups started spewing errors after trying to print out a couple
of PDFs from Evince (invoked from firefox, which incidentally hung and had to
be restarted). The error_log quickly filled up my disk (only about 8Gb free),
with various detrimental effects on the system.
Excerpt (including start and end) from the error_log:
