Package: cups-bsd
Version: 2.2.10-4
Severity: normal
By chance I noted that the spool directory fills up over time,
currently:
root@samd:/var/spool/cups# lpq -a
Keine Einträge
root@samd:/var/spool/cups# du -hs .
166M .
root@samd:/var/spool/cups# ls -lh | wc -l
621
The oldest files are from 2017. There are two types of file, some
short text files which seem to describe the print job and pdf and
postscript files, which appear to be the print jobs themselves.
Some files / queues on my system do not print
so I have to abort the jobs with lprm. If these files are really
(only) this use case I don't know.
If I should run some tests (I currently have an unprintable file at
hand) please tell me.
As a band aid a cron job could be added which deletes files there
older let's say than a week.
