I know this doesn't help you, but I'm having similar problems with both
my HP 1200 (parallel) and EPson R300 (usb). It may extend beyond
printers, though, as I'm encountering issues with the scanner as well.
I have found no errors in my logs which explain it.
Another thing--if a job was queued with CUPS (with the 1200, at least),
then on reboot (as part of my attempts to remedy things by deleting
various packages, etc.) the queued job starts up, but is screwed up.
Later printouts continue to fail mysteriously.
