Welcome to the (small) club. :(

As far as I can determine from debug logs, CUPS gets confused when a  
job comes in whose second (and later?) file(s) don't need  
processing:  jobs I forward with lpd (forced to application/octet- 
stream) print, whereas jobs forwarded via ipp (including those  
spooled by Samba), and which therefore are already preprocessed  
appropriately, simply don't do anything (cupsd sets up to print them  
but seemingly ignores the data file(s) completely when building the  
pipeline).

I sent a debug log here a couple weeks back but have not heard  
anything since, except a couple of other reports of the problem (also  
not responded to).
