From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010808 Description of problem: When printing a large # of jobs to a printer an error occurs after a certain # of jobs. It says that there is a file open error when trying to open "db.<printer name>". No more jobs can be added to the queue when this happens, until some of the current jobs are passed to the printer. However, sometimes this locks up the queue effectively shutting down the printer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Print a web page to a Post Script file. 2.Run a simple loop in your shell to print the same postscript file a few hundred times. 3.This should work: for i in `seq 1 200`; do lpr -P<printer name> <post script file>; done 4. Watch the status of the printer with the command lpq -L -P<printer name> Actual Results: With the post script file I used it queued 68 jobs and then started to give the same error over and over again about getting a file open error with db.<printer name> Expected Results: I would have expected that my post script file would have been queued and printed 200 times Additional info: You can watch the status of the print queue using lpq -L -P<printer name>
This might well be a duplicate of bug #47865. When you say 'it says there is a file open error', what _exactly_ is the message?
Ah, this looks like the one.
