Re: CUPS gone mad

 Hi,
 I'm going crazy. Thanks for any idea how to solve this mess:

* Although it worked perfectly some times ago When trying to print something from Gimp or KDE, Cups creates hundred thousands of files (000xxxx) in /var/spool/cups/. These are almost all 34796 bytes long,a d and file says these are "PostScript document text conforming at level 1.0 " . I must stop cups by /etc/init.d/cupsys stop to gain control on my computer back, or it swaps until death.

* I've tried to delete the printer and reinstall it. All seems perfect through KDE or the web interface. But when trying to print the test page, it fails immediately. The jobs list indicates : "Aborted".

 T've found this in my logs :...

Check the partition with fsck. If that doesn't help, reinstall CUPS.
