Funny. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong here. Unless, of course, 
it "Saw EOF" a little early. What did debug level 2 tell you? I know 
mine said something about some filter somewhere that was needed, but not 
found.

This is mysterious. You're sure that the problem is with CUPS? The 
printer works from, say, Windows? It _could_ be that the printer just 
gobbles up jobs, but doesn't actually print them. Just maybe... Just 
exhausting possibilities here.
