This really isn't a bug. Next time please try freebsd-questions before using send-pr, although it's not the end of the world. :) It sounds to me like the partition where your printer spool file lives is getting full while your machine can't print. There are a few other possibilities, but I think the place for you to start is to send this same information to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org and ask for suggestions on fixing it.
