Guest richardm71 Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Some time ago, I set up several print servers, that are starting to slow down because of a lot of disk activity. I have run top and think I have found the problem. the cupsd process is currently running at a size of 120M. I have no idea what it could be, as all my print servers have been running for months without "any" interaction. Is their a way that I can clear out any history from CUPS? I have restarted the CUPS process, but after a few mintues, it's back to using 120M again. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 I got a small biz, where some people don't learn ro choose the printer, before clicking on "print". When they print sthg in OOffice or Mozilla to the "generic printer", the spooled files get to nirwana but occupy the daemon. Maybe you've got sthg similar? Some spooled printouts that wont be printed? Did you look at /var/spool/cups if there are processes, although there should be nothing in hte qeue?
