I have tried most of the suggestion given by google but I am disappointed. Still my error_log file keep increasing by unbelievable size.

I have done following exercise:

sudo systemctl disable cups-browsed
sudo service avahi-daemon stop
avahi-browse -a | grep Printer
sudo cupsctl --no-share-printers

Also in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (making "browsing=off") and /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf (making "browsing protocol=none")

Even I have tried to put it in logrotate:

cat /etc/logrotate.d/cups

    /var/log/cups/error_log {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 7
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
             if [ -e /var/run/cups/cupsd.pid ]; then
                      invoke-rc.d --quiet cups force-reload > /dev/null
                      sleep 10
             fi
    endscript
    compress
    notifempty
    create 640 root lpadmin
    }

error_log : E [02/Sep/2016:13:45:31 +0530] File "/usr/lib/cups/notifier/dbus" has insecure permissions (0100757/uid=0/gid=0). [only this error fills up whole memory !]

Nothing is working.

What causes all these errors? My error log is always nearly empty. – Jos Sep 01 '16 at 14:16
I don't know exact reason. In general case it should be nearer to empty. – Avani badheka Sep 02 '16 at 05:18
Which error occurs the most often? Please post it in your question. – Jos Sep 02 '16 at 08:24
I have added that error logs in question. – Avani badheka Sep 02 '16 at 08:55
