I've actually posted this enough times to both lists that I now have it
saved as a file to insert into replies. :)
Have you applied all the printing updates? printconf*, Omni, foomatic,
and ghostscript all have updates.
After updating, the following _should_ solve the problem.
I installed the updates and removed the printer definition I had via
printconf-gui.
Then I did:
rm -rf /var/spool/lpd/*
redefine the printer via printconf-gui
/sbin/service lpd stop
rm -rf /var/cache/foomatic/{pcache,compiled}/*
/usr/sbin/printconf-backend --force-rebuild
/sbin/service lpd start
Have a look at:

If you follow that thread, it gives more details.
Hope that helps,
