[cups.general] job mysteriously reprinting

[Alex Korobkin]

7:45am looks like the time when anacron daily jobs start. Maybe there is a
cups-related job that restarts your print-server to rotate its logs, for
example?

I would also suggest to check CUPS logs and system logs for any messages
around this time.
