Print job shows completed in CUPS but nothing is printed

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We sent a few test print jobs and the job status shows "Completed", with the appropriate timestamp and byte size. However,
when we go to the printer, nothing was printed. It's as if the job was never sent even though it says otherwise in CUPS.
