First, do the blacklisting test of comment #7. Does this solve your problem?

Then independent of whether blacklisting solves your problem, remove the blacklisting again by

rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-usblp.conf

Then add my PPA to your system as described on

https://launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ppa

and update your system. This should give you an update of the CUPS packages (version 1.5.2-9ubuntu1.1~ppa2). Please cancel all jobs and turn off and turn on your printer again. Then try whether your problem gets solved.

If the CUPS package from my PPA does not solve the problem for you, try uninstalling system-config-printer-udev by entering the following command in a terminal window:

sudo dpkg -P --force-depends system-config-printer-udev

Then remove all jobs with

cancel -a

and turn off and turn on your printer. Now try to print. Does it work
normally now? Can you print an arbitrary number of jobs?

If this still does not help, try uninstalling foo2zjs:

sudo dpkg -P --force-depends foo2zjs

Remove all jobs, turn off and turn on the printer again and try whether
this helps.
