# ls output above had user , group and Day trimmed for width's sake.
# user and group were smoser, day was 'Nov 14' (yesterday).
I actually printed 24 copies of a document last night around that time, so that is likely what resulted in these links.
The ppd file in question is:
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/

$ dpkg-query --show brother-

This is not a cups bug. It happens when an app calls cupsGetPPD and fails to unlink the returned file as described here:
http:// localhost: 631/help/ api-cups. html?QUERY= cupsgetppd# cupsGetPPD
With which application did you print? I'm only aware of acrobat reader still leaving those (and other) files around.
