Lexmark’s customer support says there’s no way to turn off the messages about finding USB printers their printer daemon is filling up my logs with. I don’t have a way to fix that either, but a band-aid fix is the have logrotate shuffle the logs. As part of the standard configuration, the logs are renamed and compressed. Although this will shorten the length of time covered in the logs, it does free up a lot of space. Logrotate normally runs as a cron job and won’t rotate the logs more than once a day. But you can force it to do so:
$ sudo logrotate --force /etc/logrotate.conf
{ 2011 12 03 }
