[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#658579: cups parallel process stuck/very high CPU usage

[Steven R. Wright]

Package: cups
Version: 1.5.0-16

I also have this issue with an HP 722C connected to a parallel port;  a 
print job will start and after a short time will freeze with the 
parallel process consuming nearly 100% of the CPU cycles; there is no 
other option than tho kill parallel with -9.  A rollback of cups and its 
associated packages down to version 1.5.0-13 is required to keep 
everything working.
