I was having the same error. After turning on the debug in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and looking at the error_log file in /var/log/cups I had an error of unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job #.
It seems that I needed to have gs-esp installed in order for cups to covert the test page to be printed.
By the way I'm running Debian Sarge and I used Apt-Get by way of Synaptic to install gs-esp.
