Bug#764472: cups creates millions of temporary files when printing

Same issue here. I'm monitoring the python process just after a print.

Indeed killing .../system-config-printer/scp-dbus-service.py stop the
creation of the temp PPD links. Yet this does not occurs every time.
Just tried again, first print all was ok, then second print and I saw my
disk start working. This time the process was creating the links.

So maybe some race conditions somewhere.

For sure this is quite a bad issue!
