Package: hpijs Version: 3.9.4b-1 Severity: important Whenever a print job is processed by cups and the hpijs backend fails to open the connection to the printer, it writes error messages to syslog every 30 seconds. In environments where printers are not always online (e.g. to save energy) this spams the logfiles without need. If a printer is turned off while printing, hpijs produces even more error messages. I had a 20GB /var partition filled completely in 17 hours just by these error messages. I would have expected such messages to be produced only once for each print job. And the log priority should be no higher than "warning" because such failures have no impact on the print spooler. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hpijs depends on: ii cups 1.3.10-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-client 1.3.10-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cupsddk 1.2.3-5+b1 CUPS Driver Development Kit ii foomatic-filters 4.0-20090509-1 OpenPrinting printer support - fil ii ghostscript 8.64~dfsg-1.1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii hplip 3.9.4b-1 HP Linux Printing and Imaging Syst ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcc1 1:4.4.0-5 GCC support library ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libsnmp15 5.4.1~dfsg-12 SNMP (Simple Network Management Pr ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-3 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++6 4.4.0-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-13 userspace USB programming library hpijs recommends no packages.

David Suffield wrote on 2009-10-06: #1 The hp backend was changed to return an error back to CUPS if the device is no longer available. This means it should only loop if the device returns a valid device-id. Check the CUPS error policy for the specified printer queue. CUPS can stop-printer, abort-job or retry-job. If the policy is retry-job then this may cause the syslog to fill up.Attachment: signature.asc
