Package: cups
Version: 1.5.3-5+deb7u4

Filing this bug against cups rather than cups-filters (1.0.18-2.1+deb7u1)
because I think the immediate culprit is /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops, which
in this version belongs to the cups package. Feel free to reassign if need be.

I'm regularly seeing leftover temporary files in /var/spool/cups/tmp, as in:
  7224 1844 -rw-------   1 lp       lp        1884410 Dec 22 13:34 /var/spool/cups/tmp/gs_GpMpig
  7528    0 -rw-------   1 lp       lp              0 Dec 22 13:34 /var/spool/cups/tmp/gs_6nFAd2
  6636   24 -rw-------   1 lp       lp          21688 Dec 22 13:34 /var/spool/cups/tmp/gs_thHPkn
  7265 23748 -rw-------   1 lp       lp       24314754 Dec 22 13:34 /var/spool/cups/tmp/gs_v58Zf9

Until I started cleaning them up in a cron job these would accumulate and
eventually result in the system running out of spool space. The printer is
set up as a PostScript printer (HP CLJE CP4525 with HP-supplied PPD).

Correlating the time stamps with /var/log/cups/access_log suggests that this
happens whenever a user cancels a job that has already started printing.

I'm planning (for other reasons, see #682426, #664538) to try and switch to
a PDF-oriented PPD, which I hope will work around this issue, but fixing it
should still be of interest to users of printers that lack functional native
PDF support.

Hello Sergio, thank you for your report. Support for Wheezy has come to
an end so it is being closed. Please feel free to submit a new report if
the behaviour is still present in the present testing/unstable CUPS.

Regards,

Brian.
