CUPS not logging job-related "Info" messages in RHEL 6 and 7
Issue
- The CUPS logging in
error_logfile seems to be very small. There is no interesting data in that log like before. -
In RHEL 6 and RHEL 7, the CUPS
error_logfile contains only messages like the following:I [25/Nov/2018:05:01:04 -0300] Saving job.cache... I [26/Nov/2018:05:00:42 -0300] Saving job.cache...whereas in RHEL 5, the
error_logcontained messages for every print job, for example:I [27/Nov/2018:11:30:07 -0300] [Job 210316] Adding start banner page "none". I [27/Nov/2018:11:30:07 -0300] [Job 210316] Adding end banner page "none". I [27/Nov/2018:11:30:07 -0300] [Job 210316] File of type text/plain queued by "remroot". I [27/Nov/2018:11:30:07 -0300] [Job 210316] Queued on "printer" by "remroot". I [27/Nov/2018:11:30:07 -0300] [Job 210316] Started filter /etc/cups/interfaces/printer (PID 18030) I [27/Nov/2018:11:30:07 -0300] [Job 210316] Job completed.
