Why does macOS behave this way?
What is supposed to happen to the /spool folder contents once printing is complete?
- stjohnswarts 4y agoif you run linux go check your /var/spool/cups folder also
- metadat 4y agoI haven't printed from Linux since college.. many moons ago. Nowadays I use it mainly for servers >..< A good case can be made for printers being one of the most annoying, finicky, and error prone aspects of computing.
- yrro 4y ago> Why does macOS behave this way? I would guess it's because PreserveJobHistory in cupsd.conf defaults to 500.
- nateb2022 4y agoOn MacOS Ventura, /etc/cups/cupsd.conf does not specify any values for PreserveJobHistory or PreserveJobFiles.
- yrro 4y agoI would expect the default values documented in cupsd.conf(5) to be the compiled-in defaults. If not then there's a serious bug in Apple's bundled version of cups and they need to update!
