Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.11-2
Severity: normal
After upgrading to 1.2.11-2, strange problems started happening. On
two separate servers, printing to a Brother HL2040 has stopped
functioning. According to cups and all the log information I could
find, cups thinks the print jobs are working fine, but nothing even
comes out. This printer is printed to via samba.
The second printer I have configured on both servers is an HP1320. On
one server, it prints, but remarkably slowly (it takes about 5 minutes
a page to print). While it's printing, cups run exceedingly slow.
Looking at system resources, the cpu is idle, the hard drive is idle,
the network is idle, and no other programs appear to be slow. From
the other server, print jobs to that printer go fast, but it will
occassionally decide to stop printing to it at all; in this case,
restarting cups fixes it. This printer is printed to via a network
socket (standard jetdirect).
For both servers, downgrading cupsys and cupsys-common fixes the
problem. I wish I had more debug info to provide, but I'm at a loss
as to what the underlying issue is so far.
