The debug2 LogLevel is extremely verbose. Use it only if really
necessary, usually only if you report a bug and the developer taking
care of the bug tells you to use this mode. Make sure to stop using this
mode when you are done investigating.

To get back to the normal debug mode use

cupsctl --debug-logging

and to get back to the standard mode us

cupsctl --no-debug-logging

Please check whether the excessive log file spamming stops in normal
debug mode (also check whether you really have "LogLevel debug" and NOT
"LogLevel debug2" in your cupsd.conf then). If logging is still much
more excessive than with older CUPS versions in the normal debug mode or
even, in standard mode, report an upstream bug:

Title:
  after upgrade, cups writes gigabytes of "error" logs a day

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
