cupsd seems to be going wild (see below). I have been reading the conf files and documentations and am a little confused. I am connected to a epson c80 printer on the intranet. I do not want to manage the printer from the linux machine, just want to be able to use it to print jobs. IIRC, RH 8 did not exhibit the same activity. Question 1: It appears that changing the KeepAlive or KeepAliveTimeOut would change this action. If so, is that the best approach to take? Question 2: Is cups the optimal approach to take to print on a remote printer. Any advice from someone with more expertise than I would be appreciated. Mike.
