openSUSE Recommended Update: Various printing failures with CUPS default RIPCache size of 8m ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2011:0470-1 Rating: low References: #628233 Affected Products: openSUSE 11.4 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed. Description: The CUPS upstream default "RIPCache 8m" is too small for nowadays higher resolution printing and can cause various kind of printout failures (see CUPS STR 3535 at http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3535 and the openSUSE Bugzilla bug 628233 and http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Printing). Such issues are avoided with a default "RIPCache 128m" setting. If needed a higher value can be explicitly specified in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf via a line like "RIPCache 256m" (sometimes up to "RIPCache 1024m" is needed - provided there is at least 2GB main memory in the computer).
