We solved this problem by modifying the default lpd.conf and setting done_jobs=0 (it defaults to 1)
I think what was happening was that the newly submitted job was getting immediately removed from the queue and the "done" job would remain. I didn't have a chance to track this down in the code, but perhaps others on this list can find it. Or perhaps it's not related and this was a coincidence. However, it seemed to fix the problem for us.
