I'm seeing this too on an up-to-date 32-bit Jaunty install. Printing
works sometimes. Other times, even printing the same PDF from evince it
fails and I see errors like this in /var/log/cups/error_log:
E [28/Jul/2009:08:45:20 +1000] cupsdReadClient: 10 IPP Read Error!
When printing I run wireshark and I see *no* network traffic (except
some unrelated broadcasts - definitely unrelated, they're for my
Squeezebox). That's very weird considering it is meant to be an IPP
error!
/var/log/lpr.log seems to contain this sort of thing regardless of
whether the job prints:

There's plenty of disk space for the spooled job - nearly 6GB free.
Here's a description of my configuration:
* I export *raw* printer queues via IPP from a box running Debian stable. The
box isn't powerful enough to run the
required filters to avoid this.
* I configure the printer on the client manually. The DeviceURI looks
like this:
DeviceURI ipp://slinky.ainslie.meltin.net:631/printers/beagle
The printer uses this PPD file:
---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<
*FormatVersion: "4.3"
*FileVersion: "1.1"
*LanguageVersion: English
*LanguageEncoding: ISOLatin1
*PCFileName: "FOO2HP.PPD"
*Manufacturer: "HP"
*Product: "(HP Color LaserJet 1600)"
*cupsVersion: 1.0
*cupsManualCopies: True
*cupsModelNumber: 2
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 100 foomatic-rip"
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 foomatic-rip"
*%pprRIP: foomatic-rip other
*ModelName: "HP Color LaserJet 1600"
*ShortNickName: "HP Color LaserJet 1600 foo2hp"
*NickName: "HP Color LaserJet 1600 Foomatic/foo2hp (recommended)"
---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<
I've tried switching to the very similar "HP Color LaserJet CP1215" PPD
file (since the printer is actually a CP1215) but the same amount of
random failure occurs. :-(
Is anyone seeing this bug with anything other than an HP printer? I
wonder if foo2hp is randomly segv-ing... although there's nothing in any
logs to suggest this...
Can you please consider increasing the importance of this bug? Not
being able to print seems like a pretty serious issue...
