Comment 9 for bug 341827

Seeing the same problem here: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid). DIfferent HP printer.

The log spewing is a big problem. When it happens it can quickly fill the disk.

The printer is alive and well, but the software thinks it isn't and goes out of its way to make the problem much worse.

To add to the problem logcheck starts failing because syslog and user.log are filling up so fast it can never catch up. logcheck calls logtail which calls grep and this grep (with many regexps) is running more slowly than the logs get added to!

Here's what's repeated (hundreds per second) in the logs:

[the above 5 lines repeat at extremely high rate killing system performance and filling up the disk]

Thanks for the attention to this bug.
