Dear Michael,

Here are the details solicited (Linux Version and CUPS Version).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)
Kernel 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 on an x86_64
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
yum info cups.x86_64
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Installed Packages
Name       : cups
Arch       : x86_64
Epoch      : 1
Version    : 1.3.7
Release    : 18.el5_5.7
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Please note that the error_log file shows no error at all for the labels which were not printed (even though the job went into succcessful state.) The error_log for both conditions (when the label is printed and when the label is not printed) is exactly the same. Please let me know if you want to have a look at the log file and I can paste the contents here or upload it to some please or send it by email.

Please guide.

Regards,
Anurag
