I've noticed that a number of lppick processes are hanging around long after they should have exited.  I've seen this in v9, but I figured it was just a bug that would get resolved with v10.3.4.  Apparently not. :(

Example:

In the past, I've just killed these processes but before I go about that this time, I wanted to find out if there was something I can do to ensure that it doesn't keep happening.

I should note that this isn't isolated to one of my plants - here's the list from my other plant:

Both hosts are on RHEL 9.4 and using D3 v10.3.4.

What do I need to do in order to keep these orphan processes from stacking up?

Thanks folks!

Hi Gene,

Actually these processes are necessary for shared printers to work from D3, it's the 'middleware' between the D3 spooler and the Linux printing system so they should not be deleted.

Best regards.
