I have a similar problem with a HP Photosmart 2570. Printing gave no errors but after a while I was unable to log into the account because /var/log had filled the the partition to 100%
After investigation it turns out that various logs, deamon.log, syslog etc were filled with these three lines: Jan 30 15:54:39 jurek-desktop hp[2767]: io /hpmud/musb.c 725: invalid device wIndex=1, retrying wIndex=100: Device or resource busy Jan 30 15:54:39 jurek-desktop hp[2767]: io /hpmud/musb.c 1389: unable to write data hp:/usb/Photosmart_2570_series?serial=MY6CJ311FZ04DY: Device op resource busy Jan 30 15:54:39 jurek-desktop hp[2767]: io /hpmud/musb.c 1022: bulk write failed buf=0xbfc48764 size=7680 len=16: Device or resource busy These lines are written in a few minutes, 4.5 GB in total ! -- USB printer message fills up logs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
