For the cost of a large Lou Malnati's pizza
(http://www.loumalnatis.com/), you can purchase a printing license that
entitles you to print more than one print job. ;-)
Seriously though, It's not clear to me exactly what's going on here.
The message appears to come from the netstandard interface script. What
are your permissions on /tmp ? netstandard creates a file
/tmp/$(uname -n).$$ during execution that it ends up sending out to the
printer. The problems that you
are seeing are related to creating this file. It's likely to be either
a permission problem or the filter failing to execute cleanly, but there
are other possibilities.
If you turn on "lpr.debug" in the syslog(1m), attempt to print a job,
and send a copy of the syslog output and your queue configuration from
/etc/lp, either I or someone else on this list can probably take a look.

PS.
FWIW, I installed a queue on my desktop system for my HPLJ4650 using
the LJ4300 ppd file and was able to print to it. I'm running Nevada
build 57, but the relevant bits should be pretty much identical.
Trusted bits should have no impact on this.
