I have this issue also. I have 2 printers, a color inkjet HP6500, and a
laser HP3050.

It spits out only 1 blank page regardless of job size and I see errors
regarding "weird page contents".

these are some interesting log items
----------
cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found!
[Job 23] ( pstopdf ) Weird page contents
CUPS-Set-Default: Unauthorized
cupsdLoadRemoteCache: Not loading remote cache.
Loading job cache file "/var/cache/cups/job.cache"...
[Job 24] **** Warning:  File has an empty MediaBox. Using the current page size 
instead.

I recall a recent update to libpoppler and possibly cups.

Karmic AMD64 2.6.31-5-generic

I found this is the apt log
