Bug#1098360: cups: Constantly writing CUPS-Create-Local-Printer to access_log
Package: cups
Version: 2.4.10-2+b1
Severity: normal
This is what I see:

I tried to remove /etc/cups and `apt reinstall "cups*"`.
but eventually emptying /var/cache/cups fixed it.
It would be nice if cups was smart enough to not retry infinitely whatever it is doing in a tight loop...
