Description ken 2014-12-01 22:21:41 UTC 
Description of problem:

printing a document continuously creates MANY sym links in /tmp to printer's .ppd file in /etc/cups. Number of sym links limited only by size of "/" file system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

cups-1.6.4-10.fc19
uname -r: 3.14.23-100.fc19.x86_64


How reproducible:

easily (every time I print to same printer).

Steps to Reproduce:
1.submit print job to specific printer.
2.watch contents of /tmp/ directory.
3.

Actual results: 

sym links continually created and never removed
Expected results:

one sym link created, and removed when uneeded.

Additional info:

see this bug w/ Ubuntu package: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/890705

(This will cause issues with bash and other apps, since there is no more temp space.)
