Strange printing problem(s)

[Wayne Topa <linuxtwo@gmail.com>]

   I am having a problem with cups, again, and hope that someone here
may be able to save my sanity.

   I had my AMD64 box die about 3 months ago and have just recently
revived it. It is a 3 dist box with squeeze and sid up to date so far
but having different printing problems.  Printing was working normally
when this box went down.  Below is what upgrading introduced.  I must
have screwed up something but am unable to figure out what has changed.
The hardware interface changed from serial db9 to a usb/rs232 converter

SID
   Did an aptitude update/upgrade yesterday.  Using cups I can print
using 'Print Test Page" Ok but can not print from Iceweasel, IceDove,
adobe/Xpdf as a user.

   Root can print from the CLI using a2ps or lpr but I can not print
from my user account or get lpstat -t to show the installed printers
that it shows when root runs it, ie:

root@dj:/home/wtopa# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: HP6P
device for 6P: usb://HP/LaserJet%206P
device for Cups-Pdf: cups-pdf:/
device for HP6P: usb://HP/LaserJet%206P

HP6P accepting requests since Sun 31 May 2009 07:31:51 PM EDT
printer 6P is idle.  enabled since Wed 03 Jun 2009 12:41:33 PM EDT
printer Cups-Pdf is idle.  enabled since Sun 17 May 2009 02:20:56 PM EDT
printer HP6P is idle.  enabled since Sun 31 May 2009 07:31:51 PM EDT


The user is in the lp and lpadmin groups.
wtopa@dj:~$ lpstat -t
lpstat: Unable to connect to server


SQUEEZE

   Using the same cupsd.conf and client.conf that SID is using, the X
print problems are the same as on Sid.  On the console lpstat-t does not
work for anyone.

I gave attached the cupsd.conf & client.conf files.

Any pointers would surly be appreciated.
