cups raw printing - client print queue sticking

[Graham North]

I have cups set up on a FreeBSD server to receive raw queues from 
windows clients on my home network.  It is being used indepently of 
Samba.  Access is invoked directly with http -  
http://xx.yy.zz.ww:631/printers/lex312raw .   The printer is an elderly 
Lexmark 312L. 

The printer prints fine from 3 different WinXP clients - except the 
windows print queue does not clear properly. 

Basically, I set up the printer via the cups gui interface and all works 
well but the windows print manager queue sticks.  The queue permanently 
shows status of "processing" .  Interestingly, I can print multiple 
print jobs and only one job remains permanently stuck.  Which could/may 
mean that each new job clears the "processing" status of the last 
job..??  Each subsequent job prints fine, test pages, images, files all 
seem to work but the Windows print manager doesn't clear.   Seems like a 
final handshake going wrong..?

Could this be a client side setting?
Thanks for any advice out there.
