Brian, for comparison, this is what I get;

This is after running cupsd as root. My printer is an ethernet connected
HP device. Once I've run cupsd, I can access cups from a browser.
Also, printers show as ready and available whereas, if I don't run
'cupsd' software offers to print to "generic printer" or "print to file".
# netstat -tulpan | grep cups
