Bug Description
Binary package hint: cupsys
Upgrading from Feisty to Gusty disabled cups-lpd from beeing started by openbsd-inetd.
This line in /etc/inetd.conf was commented out:
#<off># printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/
-o document-
As I definitely need the lpd-extension of CUPS to print via the network, I did enable it again.
inetd starts properly, but printing on the local printer via port 515 does not work.
To check whether cups-lpd is running I issued the command:
ps ax | grep lp
This results in a huge amount of strange characters output and the terminal crashes.
After a while of network traffic the whole system freezes and only 'hard reset' does help.
I did try to disable AppArmor, problem persists.
According to 'Help information' in Ubuntu as well as CUPS documentation all seems to be set up correctly.
In Feisty all worked perfectly. I am using openbsd-inetd version 0.20050402-6.
CUPS-documentation for version 1.3 (http://
" 5. LPD Support; The LPD backend now supports a faster streaming mode that does not require a temporary file"
Here the corresponding information from 'var/log/messages when trying to print out of a Paralles-VM to cups-lpd on Gusty (the host):

Unfortunately after such crashes even the root-filesystem gets corrupted and I have to do 'mkfs.ext3 and play back Ubuntu from a backup. For me Parallels Workstation (Parallels- 2.2.2164- lin-en. deb) is one of the most important applications, which worked reliable under Feisty and other OS's.
