I would guess this is the problem.
As root, from within /etc do the following:
mv printcap printcap.bak ; ln -s printcap.cups printcap
and see if it works.
My printcap.cups (printcap) file has a single entry in it:
kvaughan:~# head /etc/printcap
# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file
