I have a cups server on one machine, connected to the printer via USB, and
print jobs are always sent from other Linux computers in the network. This
works for some time and then just stops until I restart CUPS like with:
% sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
Often the document is then printed twice.
Today I investigated the error a bit and the CUPS error log shows:

Too many open files.
"Too many open files." The output of "sudo lsof | grep cups" is
attached.
The problem started about 3-6 months ago. I assume it is a regression
introduced with some update.
