CUPS/splix/Printer problem

Hello my friends.

I'm having some troubles printing via LAN or from localhost. Here is the basic setup.

Data server also has Samsung ML-2240 attached to it and shared. Workstations share data/printer through LAN. Everything worked perfectly until I updated the server with "pacman -Syu" a few days ago. Pacman -Q greps are:

splix 2.0.0-7
kernel26 2.6.36.3-1
cups 1.4.4-3 (manually downgraded from 1.4.6-1 which seems to have eased the problem)
cups-usblp 1.4.4-4

usblp module is blacklisted.

I have followed a few wiki articles a while ago when initial setup was done, can't remember which ones.

Now the problem; approximately every 3rd page prints successfully. The LED won't even flash as it should when the printing starts. Here are two jobs from CUPS logs:

Samsung-2115     /tmp/.org.chromium.KOM4LG     csr     46k     1      completed at Fri 14 Jan 2011 10:17:07 AM UTC       
Samsung-2114     smbprn.00004348 Magic: Pregled     nobody     40k     1      completed at Fri 14 Jan 2011 10:02:01 AM UTC

Upper one didn't print, lower one came out successfully. Error log says nothing unusual, Access log also.
