The "Copying print data" message is safe enough - that's generated when the fallback code copies the print job to disk. The spool-area-full part seems to be the server's fault, and appears during the processing stage (we seem to get multiple connections too). Your CUPS 1.4.6 logs don't show any requests for printer state during printing, which might explain why it's started appearing now!

What's interesting here is that this pausing behaviour sounds very similar to this bug:

Could we be hitting this same bug somehow? With misleading status messages, it's entirely possible...
