I'm seeing similar problems with 'testing' where I can set up a printer and 
everything looks good, but the test_page fails.

Logs have not been very helpful.  There similar to those previously posted 
with a error # and that's it.

I have done everything out there exactly the way it was prescribed and I have 
three sets of problems:
lpradmin can't connect to the printer, though http administration "seems" to 
work.
lpr can't connect to the printer.
netcat will print files very nicely, so I don't think that there is anything 
actually 'wrong' with the printer itself.  In my case it is a networked 
printer configured with JetDirect network card.

I've been trying very hard no to just post a ton of bug-reports, but I'm at a 
point where I've checked just about everything I can find in the 
documentation and am unable to set up a new cups installation.
