It is as if the CUPS daemon is not receiving a "job done" signal, and trying to re-send the same job over and over. The KDE jobs window shows the job in perpetual "processing" mode....

I figured it out, set up the printer using the Networked Unix Printer (LPD)

Enter the IP address of the wps54gu2 for the server setting and for the port number enter L1 or L2  (L1 = parallel cable, L2 = USB cable)..

It works perfectly now!!!
