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:
