[Bug 1421252] [NEW] after upgrade, cups writes gigabytes of "error" logs a day

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

After upgrading yesterday to the latest cups package, my root partition
is filling up at the rate of more than a gigabyte per day, as a result
of /var/log/cups/error.log being filled with useless messages.
Examples:

A look at /etc/cups/cupsd.conf shows that 'LogLevel debug2' is set in
this file.  I don't remember ever setting this, but the timestamp on the
file is from Oct 2012 - so this hasn't been causing a problem until now.
I would not expect a 'debug' log setting to cause an error log to
balloon out of control.
