Duplicate page_log lines for the very same job

Hi,

I'm using CUPS 1.2.7 + ESPGS 8.5.13 (both source compilation) in a Debian 3.1 box with Samba 3.0.23c (source compilation either) to create a network print server. I've configured a remote printer (HP LaserJet 1200 on a D-Link Print Server) into CUPS using the Foomatic PPD, using LPD as the connection protocol. Everything seems to be working fine, I can set my LogLevel to debug2 and no errors nor warnings are shown in there, and I can print from my Windows clients completely fine using Adobe drivers (for Win9x stations) or CUPS drivers (for Win2k ones). Everything really seems to goes extremely smooth.

Now the sad part: I could say that my installation over here is perfect, if it wasn't for this problem with my page_log. It seems that every job gets duplicate lines into my page_log, no matter how you print it, nor from where you send it.

Here's a sample of my page_log file.

The jobs requested by the "guest" user were printed through the CUPS admin panel.

I tried to understand something from the error_log that could help me to solve this but, I'm affraid that I'm getting too sloppy as the time passes me by...

So, I could live fine with the duplicate lines, but it bothers me to think that I'd have a page_log with the double of it's normal size with no reason at all, and even worst, my printing reports showing everything doubled as well.

I appreciate any kind of help or hints that could help me to get this issue solved. Also, I can upload the error_log file if required.

Thanks in advance,
asm
