large jobs on slow printer loop forever

[Rainer Hubovsky]

Hi,

I use CUPS 1.1.18, Rel. 56 with SuSE 8.0. We have an Epson LQ-870 connected
to the network with a Planet FPS-5P-D Printserver.

We use an accounting application via telnet and whenever we send a job to
the printer which is more than app. 40 pages the job gets printed without
problems but then gets printed again and again until we kill the job.

I already told the printserver that it is connected to a slow printer and
disabled bi-directional data flow bat that didn't help.

Below are the relevant parts of the error.log. The ID is 40245.

Do you have a clue what the problem might be?

Thanks a lot!!

Cheers.
