From time to time (e.g. a few times in a minute) cups-browsed should do something (and then it takes as much CPU as needed) but shortly afterwards it should become idle again (i.e. very most of the time it should be idle) and its memory usage should be basically constant. After all cups-browsed is basically only a small helper service

Some background info: that is mainly listening for incoming print queue announcements. As long as there is no DoS attack by zillions of incoming print queue announcements, there is not much to do for cups-browsed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=973850 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=973850#c18 --- Comment #18 from Johannes Meixner --- According to http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-03/msg00266.html it seems there is no such thing as an archive of older package versions to be able to downgrade. If this is true it means there is no regular way back when things do no longer work after a version upgrade. My wording "cups-filters RPM package downgrade" was not clear. I meant downgrading all cups-filters* RPM packages, i.e. cups-filters-ghostscript cups-filters-cups-browsed cups-filters-foomatic-rip cups-filters Perhaps downgrading only cups-filters-cups-browsed alone may also work but I would prefer to simply downgrade the whole cups-filters stuff to be safe against possible subtle internal dependencies of the cups-filters sub-packages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It is also true that we do not have any patches for cups-filters which means the issue is in any case an upstream issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
