I have forwarded this report to Tim Waugh from Red Hat, original author of system-config-printer and he has answered me the following:
---------- > can you check this ppdcache.py problem mentioned here? I've committed a change which should stop the looping by failing the call on IOError. https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/system-config-printer.git/commit/?h=1.4.x&id=9a81dd1de3afaf30eec92045429029103823b577 > And why is scp-dbus-service doing something when a job is printed? You're in a better position to find that out. It doesn't do that for me. Run "scp-dbus-service --debug" before printing, and see which D-Bus call it receives. Or watch dbus-monitor --session. By the way, you know about CUPS STR #4500, right..? https://cups.org/str.php?L4500 ---------- For the two bugs you mentioned there are fixes now: > Thus I think there are two bugs here: > * cups should not create files with wrong permissions in /etc/cups/ppd CUPS STR #4500: https://cups.org/str.php?L4500 > * scp-dbus-service should not start an infinite loop creating millions > of symlinks in /tmp just because the permissions in /etc/cups/ppd > are wrong https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/system-config-printer.git/commit/?h=1.4.x&id=9a81dd1de3afaf30eec92045429029103823b577 The only strange thing is that scp-dbus-service gets triggered by simply printing. So can you please try what Tim suggests: ---------- Run "scp-dbus-service --debug" before printing, and see which D-Bus call it receives. Or watch dbus-monitor --session. ---------- and post your results here? Thanks. Till -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-printing-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
