Stopping the cups service stops the log-spam, and starting it again immediately resumes it (after a few hundred "Loading from cache..." messages). I've tried removing document files from the cache (there were a couple of ancient ones lying around - it's not a heavily used printer), but this made little difference to the symptoms. I'm pretty confident this is due to the upgrade as: 1. the spam in the logs starts immediately after CUPS reloads (after the upgrade) 2. looking at the diff for 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.9 it does seem to be fiddling with things related to job clean-up (e.g. cupsdUpdateJobs and cupsdCleanJobs in scheduler/job.c) If I can provide any further information, do let me know!
