[cups.bugs] Unable to send trailing nul to printer: Broken pipe

Hello,

Using cups-1.1.20-r4 and generic PS driver for my OKI OL600ex, I always get 

[Job 2] Unable to send trailing nul to printer: Broken pipe
E [30/Oct/2004:17:12:45 +0200] [Job 2] Remote host did not accept data file 
(32)

if the printjob is several pages. Single pages mostly works ok, but more often 
than not I receive this error - resulting in one of the following scenarios:

- printing out page after page with rubbish 
- printing out blank pages forever
- restarting the printjob from scratch whenever I receive the error

The last point is probably because cups resends the job for printing. Ive 
searched high and low for a solution, but this issue is nearly never 
mentioned - and if it is, there's no solution provided.

Any suggestions or thoughts much appreciated

Thank you.
