Comment 4 for bug 30965

I have the same problem as the initial poster in Edgy. If I add a BrowsePoll line in my cupsd.conf, cupsd starts eating all the CPU it can get. If I remove the line and restart, it goes back to normal.

The server pointed to by the BrowsePoll line works fine, which I verified by running "CUPS_SERVER=<thehost> lpstat -a".

Also, when I stop cups, I get a "cups-polld" run by root that doesn't go away. Why does that process have to run as root.

stracing shows that cupsd is doing a lot of select(). The cups-polld seems to be actually talking to the other server.

This is the output of "dpkg -l cups\*"
