When you have this issue do you check the cups log for the printer
in question to see if it indicates that the job has completed? It
might be that the cups doesn't think the job is done. Also, have you
tried checking the status of, and/or stopping/starting, the
cups.service to see if that clears it? 

Almost all my printing is "print-to-pdf", and I don't get have this
problem.
