Hi Collins, I'm highly interested in this, since I'm planning to switch my companies print services from SuSE SLES to gentoo. How is the printer in question attached? What type of driver/filter are you using and what application produces the problematic jobs?
I also expirienced such problems, but it usualy went down to performance issues, like small printer memory, slow network connections or the worst heavy load on the printserver with lots of gs processes (that sometimes seems to slow things down!). Also using cups-lpd can be a problem since it uses lots of memory (really don't know why).
