[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#343201: cupsys: CUPS eats up CPU

[Jerome Warnier]

I finally found it to be related to #280718 (gnome-cups-manager: floods
central cups printer server with requests).

You should then probably reassign this bug to gnome-cups-manager, and
probably merge it with #280718.

I have ~30 Sarge workstations running GNOME and so polling constantly
the CUPS server for new printing notifications (as CUPS is not yet
DBUS-enabled, at least in Sarge).

I fixed it by removing gnome-cups-icon from the user sessions. One may
want to patch and rebuild libgnomecups1.0-1 instead with a larger
UPDATE_TIMEOUT in gnome-cups-printer.c.

Still, cupsd is spending most of its time in the "time" syscall.

Thanks anyway.
