The cupsd is not involved here and the CUPS library cannot somehow automatically delete it (library functions return to the caller). It is the application that requested the PPD and accordingly it is the application that must remove it when no longer needed. See http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.5/api-cups.html#cupsGetPPD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- cupsGetPPD Get the PPD file for a printer ... The caller "owns" the file that is created and must unlink the returned filename. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This means you would have to find out what particular applications missed to remove their PPDs when no longer needed and file separated bug reports for each of them (for an example see bnc#338095). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
