Noticed the same bug with a computer I was giving support for. In the end, I recommended exporting all files to PDF and printing from there, which worked fine. After a while, the issue went away (without upgrading packages in between). Anyway, the printer was a network printer connected to a print server, so I could verify that there was no mixup or broken connection, the correct printer did in fact receive a signal every time I tried to print something. However, the data sent was only a few kb, far less than would be expected from a postscript file. Since I didn't run wireshark back then and can't reproduce the bug now, this will be of little help. I'm writing this mainly in response to Josh's suggestion and because of the workaround mentioned above.
