I suppose you are talking abou the cnij* files which aren't being
cleaned up? That's what your link refers to. I'm not entirely sure which
driver is doing this, but tentatively assigning to the Canon one.

Title:
Printer bug adds cnij* into /var/tmp endlessly
Status in cjet package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Canon Maxify MB2320 printer (all-in-one) causes or systemd causes
lines to be added to /var/tmp/ continuously. By constant, I mean
whenever the printer, or scanner, or copier function. I reported a bug
at the Canon Printer Community Forum for it's writing massively large
files (starting cnij) and filling /var/tmp to the point where / was
complaining of no space remaining. As these two problems may be linked
I'm posting a little about the cnij files, too. Please bear with me.

driver/td-p/165313
The next problem occurs after I start a weekly removal of those cnij
files. When the device (printer) was first installed there were but 3
or 4 files in /var/tmp, no including the cnij-s.
That has now grown to 70+ lines. I append a few here, as they are
somewhat similar. If you wish to see all 70, they are at

While trying to run Ubuntu's (badly named app) "Backup", I received
the following error message:
Backup Failed
Giving up after 5 attempts. Error: g-io-error-quark: Error opening
file: '/media/mark/80cb5313-35a0-432b-9250-4cc62d79a3c8/duplicity-

I have asked for help at AskUbuntu and the Ubuntu Forums. At AskU I
was directed to report the bug here. Following the Launchpad reporting
guidelines:
Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04
mark@Lexington:/var/tmp$ apt-cache policy backups
N: Unable to locate package backups
I expected the backup to run as it has for years and years.
Backup reports fail message.
I am not aware of whether this is a security bug. I have left that box
unchecked.
There has been no response at Ubuntu Forums as yet. If there is one I
will add the relevant information as it becomes available.
