Environment

Novell iPrint for Linux

Situation

The Driver Store status within iManger shows Down, yet the Driver Store is running.  The top command shows that idsd is running at 99% utilization.

Resolution

Reported to engineering.

Workaround:
Remove the /var/opt/novell/iprint/resdir/deferred_compressions.txt file and restart the driver store (rcnovell-idsd restart).

Additional Information

Cause:
In some printer driver upload scenarios when the printer driver is in an unexpected format, the driver store will create file named deferred_compressions.txt to the /var/opt/novell/iprint/resdir/ directory.
