[cups] cupsd using 100% of CPU with v2.2.1-8

[Emma Simon]

Michael,

Yes, cups-browsed is running.
It looks like the errors had stopped pretty abruptly a few hours ago
(possibly when my computer went into hibernation), and the CPU usage
had settled down until I restarted the service. Now it's spitting out
errors and using up the CPU again.
What outside of cups could be causing the print queue stuff? I'm a
programmer at a printer company, so it's possible people are doing
weird things with devices on the network.
