[K12OSN] CUPS stopping after printing one job

[sonjag at comcast.net]

Hi Ronnie--

I had similar problems with a different set up, but might apply. The issue for me turned out to be fonts that the printer didn't like. If a file stopped the printer once it would stop it again, but if you change the font (make sure you select all to make sure you change all of the characters) to a known good (like Times, for me), it would usually stop offending the printer. And then you can delete the font sets that don't work well with your printers.
