Can't print some jobs at some times

[thomas olbrich]

I have problems to get some PDFs printed out of Acrobat 6. Those files DO always print well on another computer. Those files only sometimes print on my computer. In the cases of not printing either the jobs spools ages from Acrobat to my printer (printmonitor window) or they spool seconds only but nothing arrives at any of our three postcript laser printers in both cases.

I have created new printers in the OSX printer tool, I have created and saved new settings in Acrobat/more options - but w/o success.

The CUPS error log shows lines like that for the files which did not print:

I [07/Feb/2007:09:17:36 +0100] Job 30 queued on 'C9500' by 'thomaso'.
I [07/Feb/2007:09:17:36 +0100] Started filter /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pictwpstops (PID 293) for job 30.

E [07/Feb/2007:09:22:43 +0100] get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/ ' no good!

Any hints?

Additional here the CUPS error log for a day where I did not print at all but checked the printer settings. The log starts with the boot time and ends with the shut down. In between some weird 'no goods'.:

Any hints appreciated!

Turn off SNMP on the printer.
