I've had a number of occaisions where cups has just failed for me like
that with a "...foomatic-rip failed" message. On different occaisions
I've had different solutions work:
purge cups* and foomatic* and
anything else printing related I can find and start over
remove ~/.gnome (not sure why this worked, but it did once).
remove the existing printer, shutdown cups completely, restart it
and re-add the printer
other mysterious mumbo-jumbo that magically fixes printing... :(
It's a big complicated system and seems overly prone to breakage IMO.
