This is saying that the server would not accept the print job.  This
might be because you don't have permission to print from the client
(check cupsd.conf), or the printer queue may be rejecting jobs:

$ lpstat -pc60
printer c60 is idle.  enabled since Jan 01 00:00
        Rejecting Jobs

To enable the "c60" queue:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/cupsaccept c60
$ lpstat -pc60
printer c60 is idle.  enabled since Jan 01 00:00


Are you printing from the same machine that is running the CUPS
server, or a different machine?  Did you allow printing from other
machines on the network?
