>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.
