After I restart my system, the /tmp was not clear! The file output.tar,
that I sent to bugreport, remains there.

So, I did a test about your suspicion.

I open Libreoffice and sent a file to my Brother Printer. The file was
printed.

But, after that, I can't printer any file. I run in a terminal:

# /etc/init.d/cups restart
failed

I run

# systemctl status cups.service

and got a lot of messages in red. Problems. Sorry, but I don't remember
what they means. Tomorrow I try to reproduce.

If I run

# journalctl -xn

all terminal windows was closed.

I go to /tmp and run

:~$ ls -l /tmp/

and got: the list was to big (or something else)

Now, in my house, without have sent anything to the printer, there are
a lots of files like this

lrwxrwxrwx 1 marcelo marcelo     42 Out 22 16:18 5447f50a61a05 ->
/etc/cups/ppd/Brother-HL-5370DW-series.ppd

and 4 like this:

drwx------ 3 root    root      4096 Out 22 21:52
systemd-private-c02968fcb98b476e958ceba77698eff9-colord.service-1QKfh4

drwx------ 3 root    root      4096 Out 22 21:53
systemd-private-c02968fcb98b476e958ceba77698eff9-rtkit-daemon.service-CqkuLS

in my /tmp dir.

Around 4 PM my system begun very slow. I try to list files in /tmp end
got a message that my / (root) was full! I need to restart the system
to continue my work.

I will to the test tomorrow and will send it to the bugreport, if I
could reproduce it.
