Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups
When I try to print from http://
http://
Instead, what happens:
the print job is "held," CPU usage jumps, the hard drive thrashes, and the web-app freezes for a time
the print job is listed as "0k"
/var/spool/cups/ fills up with VERY large spool files (~900mb) that fill up the root filesystem and cause secondary problems with "low disk space" errors; the large file size is *independent* of print detail (dpi) settings
print resources are unavailable to web browsers until system restart
the bug appeared sometime in the last couple of CUPS updates. seems like it is not properly generating a postscript file?

showing the large "garbage files" from the failed print process, that fill up the hard drive. Together these files are worth 3.8Gb, leaving 0kb free in my root filesystem.
