• Product: Gentoo Linux

The cups-lpd Daemon from "net-print/cups" (My Version is 2.1.4) cant print any jobs.

Dr. Google says: the program does not access any temporary folder.
But which should be that I could not find, please extend the "tmpfile.d" configuration thus also this service functions.

What directory needs to be created?

It's been a long time since I last tried this and I still don't know which directory it should be. I thought it was "/var/spool/cups/tmp/" but when I watch the directory during printing nothing happens there.

This Bug can be closed.
cups-lpd needs on Windows-Client the "Enable LPR byte counting"-Option to work.

But the false ExecStart-Option in the systemd-service-Unit from Bug 615438 ist still present.
