We need a test with a CUPS version which does not have the numerous patches as the Ubuntu version has.
Can you try the following: Download http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/RPMS/i486/cups-1.2.11-1lsb3.1.i486.rpm or http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/RPMS/x86_64/cups-1.2.11-1lsb3.1.x86_64.rpm depending on whether you are using the 32-bit or 64-bit PC platform. Convert the package to the Debian format: sudo apt-get install alien sudo alien --scripts cups-*.rpm Install this package: sudo dpkg -i cups_*.deb Transfer your print queues to the new CUPS: sudo cp /etc/cups/printers.conf /etc/opt/cups/ sudo cp /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd /etc/opt/cups/ppd/ Stop the system's CUPS /etc/init.d/cupsys stop and start the new CUPS /etc/init.d/cups start (NOTE: only "cups" not "cupsys" here). Try to print and observe whether the memory leak appears again. -- MASTER [Feisty] cupsd leaking file descriptors (was: Multiple jobs are not printed) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
