CUPS 1.4.8 CPU Usage

Upon starting to run <cupsd.exe>, the CPU usage spikes to 99.9%, and 
killing it (through the C-A-D utility doesn't help.  It seems the 
<...\cups\backend\usb.exe> tile is the cause and can't be stopped 
without a system boot.

I think I have the proper commands in the object to open it, the 
parameters being </c detach O:\cups\sbin\cupsd.exe>.  I also believe I
have correctly unzipped all the necessary files with the proper setup.
 The Log file, produced by the "warn" command, shows simply:

D [04/Jan/2012:15:59:20 +0500] [Job 4] Unloading...
E [04/Jan/2012:16:07:26 +0500] Missing value for SystemGroup on line 
13.
E [04/Jan/2012:16:07:27 +0500] Unable to bind socket for address 
/cups/var/run/cups/cups.sock:0 - Operation now in progress.
E [04/Jan/2012:16:07:27 +0500] [Job 4] No %%BoundingBox: comment in

E [04/Jan/2012:16:07:28 +0500] [Job 4] No pages found!

The file produced by the "debug" command of course provides a plethora
of entries, but it appears CUPS does recognize the printer but just 
insists on the 99.9% usage.  Any idea what I have done wrong, or what 
more information is needed, or what might be the problem?

The above are 'normal'

Re: CUPS 1.4.8 CPU Usage

Sorry about all the duplicate messages.  ProNews/2 apparently didn't 
recognize my update of my Mail Server and advised it was rejecting my 
postings through it.  So I opted to use the Web Interface instead.  
Apparently afterwards it changed its mind and sent the original, and 
repeat, messages after all.

So, again, sorry ...

Can anybody try foomatic with CUPS 1.4.8?

I've lately decided to take another look at debugging the problem which
causes foomatic-rip to mangle the PostScript file when Ghostscript is 
used as the renderer.

For some reason, though, I find that I can't get foomatic-rip to work
at all anymore.  This is the same system where I was working on this
last year, and all the foomatic stuff is unchanged.  I _have_ upgraded
CUPS from 1.4.4 to 1.4.8 in the interim, so I'm wondering if a problem
has crept into the latest releases.

First of all, I got this:

I [16/Jan/2012:14:56:56 -0900] [Job 13] Started filter 
/cups/lib/cups/filter/pstops.exe (PID 81)
I [16/Jan/2012:14:56:56 -0900] [Job 13] Started filter

D [16/Jan/2012:14:56:56 -0900] PID 82 (/cups/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip.exe) 
stopped with status 8!
D [16/Jan/2012:14:56:56 -0900] PID 81 (/cups/lib/cups/filter/pstops.exe) did 
not catch or ignore signal 13.
...
D [16/Jan/2012:14:56:56 -0900] [Job 13] /cups/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip.exe:
Invalid executable file format

I eventually figured out that it couldn't cope with the symbolic link

Do you have libc064 and the associated libc063 forwarder installed?

I've seen one report of breakage of CUPS with the above setup.

Cheers,

I guess so.  I have:

10-03-11  6:07a        48,142      0 ----  libc06.dll
10-03-11  6:07a        48,142      0 ----  libc061.dll
10-03-11  6:07a       157,124      0 ----  libc062.dll
10-03-11  6:07a       157,124      0 ----  libc063.dll
10-03-11  6:07a     1,345,016      0 ----  libc064.dll

Interesting.  Any workaround suggestions?
