I wonder why not - it should show things like the path to the ppd file
and interface script used to configure your print q (whatever you called
it).

I have no idea.
You could try downloading the latest PPD file for your printer
make/model from linuxprinting.org and try that instead of the one set up
for your print q in /etc/lp/ppd.
Also try switching on debugging in the foomatic-rip script
(/usr/lib/lp/bin/foomatic-rip) by changing
my $debug = 0;
to
my $debug = 1;
run your print job and afterwards the log will be in
/tmp/foomatic-rip.log (or whatever 'my $logfile' is set to). Then see if
that shows anything. - Don't forget to switch debugging off again
afterwards, as it's not secure -

Let us know how you get on
