-To prevent the spool folder at /var/spool/cups from growing endlessly, change its maximum size:((See http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-to-prevent-var-spool-cups-from-becoming-full-901965/#post4466619))
+To prevent the spool folder at /var/spool/cups from growing endlessly, configure CUPS to delete print jobs once they have been handled:
-<code>sudo sed -i "/MaxLogSize/c\MaxLogSize 52428800" /etc/cups/cupsd.conf</code>
+<code>sudo sed -i "/MaxLogSize/a PreserveJobHistory No" /etc/cups/cupsd.conf</code>
-That way, if the size of the spool folder exceeds a certain limit, any print jobs you have sent will automatically be deleted from the Banana Pi after they have been processed. I have chosen a limit of 50 MB, converted into bytes. (Setting the MaxLogSize to 0 will not make CUPS delete a print job after finishing it, but make it actually keep all of them.)
+You could also choose to keep the job files for a certain amount of time((See https://opensource.apple.com/source/cups/cups-327/cups/doc/help/ref-cupsd-conf.html.in#PreserveJobHistory.)).
 Finally restart CUPS:
