Ok, I am a dummy.  :-)  This was not a CUPS problem at all.  There is a
bug in Etch's gnome-cups-manager that prevents test pages from printing.
  I thought it was a server problem when it was a client problem.
Printing from other clients like a web browser works fine.

My apologies for the clutter to the list.  Thanks for your assistance.
