Debugging network printing

I have an HP2600n color laser printer that I'm trying to get to work. I
downloaded and installed the foo2hp driver from http://foo2hp.rkkda.com/.
It compiled and installed with one caveat: the color queue doesn't want to
work. Nothing seems to get to the printer.
Briefly, my system:
* OS: Gentoo Linux
* Cups: 1.1.23
* Cups configuration:
AccessLog /var/log/cups/access_log
DocumentRoot /usr/share/cups/docs
ErrorLog /var/log/cups/error_log
LogLevel debug
PageLog /var/log/cups/page_log

* Queues:
o hp2600n-bw
o hp2600n-color
o hp2600n-raw
* What works:
o Any printing to hp2600n-bw
o Manually converting a PDF to PS, then feeding it through
foo2hp2600-wrapper to create a .zm file, and sending that to hp2600n-raw.
* What doesn't work:
o Printing directly to hp2600n-color
According to the printer, it doesn't even see the color request unless I
manually send it raw.
What I'm trying to do is decipher exactly where the problem is. Given all
of the above, I can't figure out why the color printing isn't working - all
the pieces seem to work fine in isolation, just not in concert.
The only difference between the -bw and -color ppd's is the DefaultColorMode
line (according to diff):
# diff -u *

I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers.
Thanks,
