Package: cupsys Version: 1.2.11-2 Subject: cupsys: cupsd opens approx 200 FIFO endpoints per print job that are never closed. Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line *** Each time a print job is sent to an Epson 1280 printer, cupsd opens approx. 200 FIFO handles which never get closed. After a few print jobs (about 5), the system's per-process open handle limit is reached, and no additional jobs are accepted. Additionaly, once the open file limit is reached, the web interface starts returning "404 Not Found" errors. The /var/cups/error_log file gets overwhelmed with "Too many open files" errors and rapidly grows to several MB in size. Restarting cupsys will allow cups to temporarily function until the max open file limit is again reached. When printing without pre-filtering to a Postscript capable printer, only about 10 FIFO endpoints are opened per print job. These are also never closed. Here is the output from lsof after cupsys was restarted and the test page was sent via the web interface to an Epson 1280: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
