lpd: CPU and memory consumption

[Benjamí Villoslada <benjami@gmail.com>]

From one week ago one lpd process (in Debian Sid) progressively needs more CPU 
and memory. I need to kill it.  Seems that is the LPD for one Samsung 
printer --6 months old, without problems until one week ago.

Only 15 min. after a done print job, now lpd PID 19449 have 61% CPU and 14.8% 
memory --and growing.

$ ps ax | grep -i lpd
 3518 ?        Ss     2:01 lpd Waiting
19449 ?        Ss    15:23 lpd (Server) 'Samsung_ML-2010_USB_1'
22870 pts/3    R+     0:00 grep -i lpd
22868 ?        Zs     0:00 [lpd] <defunct>

Any idea?   Thanks!

Regards,
