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"...
