Hello Patrick,

I am doing something similar, but I use the perl script printanalyzer.pl

1) is set MaxLogSize 0 in the cupsd.conf <<<<< This disable logrotate ...

2) I created a cups file at the logrotate.d on my linux server

cat /etc/logrotate.d/cups 
/var/log/cups/access_log {
    daily
    rotate 7
    compress
    missingok
    postrotate
                  /usr/bin/killall -HUP cupsd
    endscript
}

/var/log/cups/error_log {
    weekly
    rotate 4
    compress
    missingok
    postrotate
                  /usr/bin/killall -HUP cupsd
    endscript
}

/var/log/cups/page_log {
    monthly
    rotate 12
    compress
    missingok
    postrotate
                  /usr/bin/killall -HUP cupsd
    endscript
}
3) I create a cronjob for printanalyzer.pl
