Maybe some of the suggestion in a thread I sarted "/dev/lp0 rights and CUPS" might have helped. I had to add lp to /etc/modules and mess with the rights of /dev/lp0 in udev to get it working. All this purging reinstalling stuff reminds me of how I "solve" problems in Windows. Ugh. This printing/udev bug has been a really anoying experience for me, especially since no one seems to have really gotten to the bottom of it.
