Shouldn't this files be automatically deleted? Which setting would do it?

I looked for this option on 10.2 and couldn't find it. Any clues for 10.2 how to keep this directory cleaned up? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Also look at that man page for cupsd.conf: man cupsd.conf PreserveJobFiles Specifies whether or not to preserve job files after they are printed.

I have: PreserveJobFiles No AutoPurgeJobs Yes since sunday; I was waiting for effects before answering here, but there are none: I still have 154M in that dir, no file has been deleted. So, is this a bug? Why are those years old files not deleted? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

The obvious: you did restart cups, right? It may not work on the old files only the new ones. Just a guess. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Of course, right after I edited the config. :-)

Might be. Not all my print jobs are there, it would be huge. Maybe the files are there because cup crashed or was killed and they were left there. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
