Update: Looks to be a problem with foomatic-combo-xml handling the number of .xml files for printers. If I remove enough printer definitions from /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/driver then it runs OK.
since it works for you I am not going to dig into this any further. Feel free to discuss it with upstream tho
