Hello again, CUPS users!

Another question regarding CUPS v.1.1.23 logging in Mac OS X Server v. 
10.4.x. I see the following in /var/log/cups/error_log when printing  
to two different queues:

I [25/Nov/2005:13:25:17 -0800] Adding start banner page "none" to job  
6048.
I [25/Nov/2005:13:25:17 -0800] Job 6048 queued on 'phaser8200n' by  
'localadmin'.
I [25/Nov/2005:13:25:17 -0800] Started filter /usr/libexec/cups/ 
filter/cgpdftops (PID 20660) for job 6048.
I [25/Nov/2005:13:25:17 -0800] Started filter /usr/libexec/cups/ 
filter/pstops (PID 20661) for job 6048.
I [25/Nov/2005:13:25:17 -0800] Started backend /usr/libexec/cups/ 
backend/tea4cups (PID 20662) for job 6048.
N [25/Nov/2005:13:25:21 -0800] [Job 6048] : Print file accepted - job  
ID 83.
I [25/Nov/2005:13:26:32 -0800] Adding start banner page "none" to job  
6049.
I [25/Nov/2005:13:26:32 -0800] Job 6049 queued on 'docucenter425' by  
'localadmin'.
I [25/Nov/2005:13:26:32 -0800] Started filter /usr/libexec/cups/ 
filter/cgpdftops (PID 20717) for job 6049.
I [25/Nov/2005:13:26:32 -0800] Started filter /usr/libexec/cups/ 
filter/pstops (PID 20718) for job 6049.
I [25/Nov/2005:13:26:32 -0800] Started filter /usr/libexec/cups/ 
filter/XeroxWCPFilter (PID 20719) for job 6049.
I [25/Nov/2005:13:26:32 -0800] Started backend /usr/libexec/cups/ 
backend/tea4cups (PID 20720) for job 6049.

As you can see, the last line of job 6048 shows the print file as  
being accepted, however, that same line is missing from the end of  
job 6049. Whenever this happens, although the job is successfully  
printed (in this case to a Xerox Document Centre 425st), it isn't  
logged in /var/log/cups/page_log, although all the other jobs are.  
Can anyone shed some light on this? TIA!
