Just to throw this out... I've had similar problems out of a completely
unrelated USB printer. First print is fine, then for some random reason,
every subsequent attempt to print results in the document sitting in the
queue forever. Upon investigation, I find CUPS has disabled the printer
because of a communications problem. It seems to be some kind of USB
problem.
My solution to this was to cook up a script to restart hotplug then CUPS.
That almost always gets it going again.
Sorry if this was a completely worthless suggestion.
