[Test Case] * Set PreserveJobHistory to 300. * Schedule a job for printing. * Check the error_log. Expected result: Job is save for at least 300 seconds. Actual results: Job is immediately removed from history. [Regression Potential] * With the fix the jobs will be saved longer than before, so in tight conditions (low disk space) and heavy workload it may affect memory/disk space consumption and lead to running out of free space in worst case. [Other Info] * Original bug description: 1) Ubuntu Release Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 2) Version of the package cups: Installed: 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.3 Candidate: 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.3 Version table: *** 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.3 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages 3) What I expected to happen: from man cupsd.conf PreserveJobFiles Yes PreserveJobFiles No PreserveJobFiles seconds Specifies whether job files (documents) are preserved after a job is printed. If a numeric value is specified, job files are preserved for the indicated number of seconds after printing. The default is "86400" (preserve 1 day). PreserveJobHistory Yes PreserveJobHistory No PreserveJobHistory seconds Specifies whether the job history is preserved after a job is printed. If a numeric value is specified, the job history is preserved for the indicated number of seconds after printing. If "Yes", the job history is preserved until the MaxJobs limit is reached. The default is "Yes". 4) What happens instead.... If I put the following directives in cupsd.conf the job files and history are deleted immediately.
