CUPS: Waiting for job to complete...

[vu pham]

Now instead of using the renote forward, I just copy the files from the 
app server to the remote server that controls the printer and print from 
there. Now CUPS on the remote server keeps saying "Empty print file" 
after printing each file.  I have to restart cups to clear that message.

Does anybody know how to fix this ?
