>Description:
Sometimes one of the child-processes of cups enters some sort of
endless loop, and there is no way to kill it, not even with kill -9.
This is extremely awkward, since this process keeps the printerport
open, so effectively printing is down.
>How-To-Repeat:
not known.
>Fix:
Reboot. As the printer is connected to our primary server, this is not
an option.

 Can you have a look at the process with top and tell us what
 state the process is in? Thanks,
 
 	David.

 Last week it did happen again, and this time I captured the output of top:
 
   PID USERNAME    PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND     
 47106 daemon      -20   0  2280K  1000K devbuf   0:04  0.00%  0.00% rastertohp
 
 The relevant output of ps is:
 
 USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT STARTED      TIME COMMAND
 daemon   47106  0.0  0.4  2280 1000  ??  D    11:17AM   0:04.48 lp 23 gerard 1 (rastertohp)
 
 Hope this helps a bit.
 
 Kind regards,
 
 
 Gerard Kok
