[cups.general] Test print fails .. no significant errors in log

[reader at newsguy.com]

Setup:
     gentoo linux
     cups-1.2.3

Printer is connected to a windowsxp pro machine.  

Attempting to setup linux usage of this printer thru smb, using uri
 smb://user:passwd@host/share

That user has an account on the windows machine.

After setting things up I try to test print from cups html control
center.  I've set debug for log level.

The test fails but I see no significant error reported in error_log,
posted in part at the end.

But to the point... what is wrong here?
