[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#374657: cupsys: Raw printing to networked printers is broken

[Roger Leigh]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal

Printing to a local queue with

lpr -P <printer> -oraw <file>

works fine, but when <printer> is a printer discovered by browsing,
cupsd sends a lot of network traffic for several minutes, and then
cupsd dies.  From the log, it looks like it used up all available file
descriptors; netstat shows many IPP connections, mostly TIME_WAIT.
It looks like it tried sending the job many many times over; I think
this is only the final few tens of retries.

I've attached the error log.

This is also upstream STR #1786.


Regards.
Roger
