I have an OKI B430d printer, which is connected to an Odroid C2 (a single-board computer similar to the Raspberry Pi) via USB. The Odroid runs Arch Linux Arm with a cups server, so every device in the local network can use the printer.
The printer is configured as RAW printer.



My desktop computer runs Arch Linux with a cups instance, too. This cups instance connects to the Odroid via ipp and also has the ppd file for the printer.



Now to the issue I started noticing ~8 months ago:
Sometimes the printer would print a blank page containing only



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


or



.0 0
%-------------------------------------------------


or



source 1.0 0
%-------------------------------------------------


The issue also occured when printing from a different PC than mine (but also running cups on Arch Linux).



Yesterday I printed some more PDFs and this time the printer printed a blank page containing the following in front of 3 jobs:



OKI_Driver_Procedure_Patch_Resource 1.0 0
%------------------------------------


Finally something to search for! I found a PPD file which contained a similar line, so I searched the PPD file I use for the printer for the line and found it on line 108: https://www.oki.com/eu/printing/support/drivers-and-utilities/?id=46262901FZ01



Today, I printed a test PDF after enabling debug logging for both cups instances. I pasted the debug logs here: https://gist.github.com/jkhsjdhjs/aab53920040f62b43c878c74a61860ea



One thing I did change for the printer locally was lpadmin -p <printer> -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops. It didn't work without it, but I don't think that's the cause.



Let me know if there's more info I can provide.
Thanks in advance.
