Please tell us the printer's URI and some more details. I suspect you
are
using the socket backend. This waits for some indication that the job is
finished in the printer, and this reply seems to be missing.
Perhaps you need to edit the JCL stuff in your printer's PPD. Or use the
hpnpf backend which forces an end-of-job reply provided the printer
fully supports HP's PJL .
