Thanks for taking the time to bring this issue to my attention. I have been able to replicate the issue on my end, so I will see if there's anything I can update in the package to make it work.

Version 1.2.1 should fix this issue. The library I use to send the jobs to a CUPS print server requires a page range to be set. I was setting it to "1-" if a range has not been specified already to signify printing the entire document, but the library won't accept that. I've changed it to print pages "1-999", which should be more than enough in the majority of cases.

If you somehow have a document more than 999 pages to be printed, make sure you specify the needed page range via the range function when creating a new print task.
