MFC8600 Brother Prints OK first PDF job, second job prints garbage

[Bryce Nesbitt]

It's been like this for years. Some initialization problem between driver and printer.

If I print certain types of documents the printer is fine.
If I print a pdf, it's fine.
If I print a second pdf, reams of paper spit out of the machine each with a few random characters on them.

Resetting CUPS or power cycling the printer fixes the issue for one printout.
Resetting CPUS ("sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart") fixes the issue for one printout.

I use the "Brother MFC-8600 Foomatic/hl7x0 (recommended)" driver. Changing driver
does not... at least not for sure... fix the problem.

----------------------

Or maybe it is an end job problem, as the printer often reports a state of
    "Idle - Sending data to printer."
Hours after the last printout.
