this sounds very much like a part of the issue I recently
posted about as well. In my case the jobs on a 10.3.7 host
seem to move to a linux server and then disappear from the
linux queue, but no jobs seem to get to the actual printer.
How are your local and remote queues set up?

Subject: Statusing locally queued jobs through CUPS
To: email@hidden
I'm trying to access job status programmatically through CUPS
and have
run into a glitch. It involves jobs queued for a shared
printer on a
remote IPP server. I can get the status of the jobs that
have already
transferred to the remote server's queue with no problems,
but I can't
figure out a reasonable way to get the status of the
printer's jobs
that are still queued on the local machine.
The web interface confirms the issue if I stop the printer
and queue up
two jobs: No jobs are listed on the printer's local web page
(http://localhost:631/printers/<printer name>@<remote host>),
but both
jobs do show up on the local jobs page
(http://localhost:631/jobs).
The printer's remote web page (http://<remote
host>:631/printers/<printer name>) shows only the first job,
which has
been transferred to the remote queue.
Is this a bug in the Panther version of CUPS? Apart from
parsing the
printer info out of the list of all jobs for all printers, is
there any
way to status the locally queued jobs by printer?
