Bug#374009: cupsys-client: echo abc | lp yields a "lp: Bad Request" sometimes
Package: cupsys-client
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal
-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable
APT prefers unstable
APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.12
Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1)
Versions of packages cupsys-client depends on:
ii adduser 3.87 Add and remove users and groups
ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries
ii libcupsys2 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) -
ii libgnutls13 1.3.5-1.1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr
ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime
Versions of packages cupsys-client recommends:
ii cupsys-bsd 1.2.1-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) -
-- no debconf information
About 25% of lp invocations yield the error mentioned above.
If the system is under heavy cpu load, about 90% fail.
Downgrading to cupsys-client from stable seems to solve the
problem (means, I can spool 50 jobs w/o error, also with cpu load).
The cups server is a remote one on a Debian-SPARC stable system.
