Bug#822263: cups printing from 2 recently patched systems stops with incomplete spooling; printer works fine with Windows

[davem753 <ja@yeahblah.com>]

Package: cups
Version: 1.7.5-11+deb8u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
      This began within the last 4-6 weeks, and only affects printing from 2 of my machines, one wheezy and one jessie.  I have a 3rd wheezy machine that has not received the most recent Debian updates that is still able to print.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
      I have tried multiple suggestions from forum posts and none are effective.  At best, if I install a new printer into the web interface (localhost:631) I can print one single cups test page.  Any subsequent jobs, no matter the size, will fail.  Spooler gets stuck, printer sits and waits.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
      To have print jobs that would fully print, instead of hanging with spooling less than 100%.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
      Spooler stops at n%, where n is usually between 0% and 29%
