I, too, have no problem after doing the above steps.

 However, the first time I printed (and foolishly a few times later), I
forgot to select and save the type of printer I had in the gimp's print
dialog. So, my printer starts spewing page after page of postscript
text. I run the cupsWedAdmin and cancel the job but it keeps printing!
So, I turn on/off the printer -- no luck. Try taking the printer offline
(in cups) and also have it reject jobs -- it still prints. In order to
finally make it stop, I have to reset the computer. 
 There has to be a better way to empty the print
'queue'/'buffer'/whatever its called. How?

Cheers
Kevin
