Description

I'm using the Docker container ghcr.io/openprinting/ghostscript-printer-app with a Samsung ML-1660 printer. I tried the latest tag as well as all the previous ones.

The first job usually processes and finishes fine, but any subsequent jobs get stuck in this state, until I restart the container.

I tried connecting my printer both via USB and AppSocket TCP/IP 9100. Both methods had the same result.

Research direction

Reproduce with ghcr.io/openprinting/ghostscript-printer-app using the Samsung ML-1660, submitting jobs over USB and AppSocket TCP/IP 9100. Start by comparing the first successful job with the subsequent job that remains started; done means later jobs complete without restarting the container.
