A large print job disables the CUPS print queue in RHEL

Issue

• It is found that when user submitted a large print jobs from the Linux server, the print queue would be disabled and the print job could not be processed further more.

• When I submit a print job size around 70M in RHEL 5.3, the print job will consume a lot of space in /var/spool/cups. I used the following command to create a print queue.

  # /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p <print queue name> -P "/usr/share/cups/model/laserjet.ppd" -v lpd://<print server hostname>/<print queue name> -E
  

However, if "-P /usr/share/cups/model/laserjet.ppd" is omitted i the command above, the problem of disk space consumption doesn't occur.
