Customize web interface - Adding tab functionality

The problem I'm working with here is that we have some 200+ printers on the network.  With that many printers it is onerous for an operator to parse through all the printer listing via the "Printers" tab/view.  I'm working to add a "Problems" tab/view and filter for anything "printer_state!3" (i.e. "Idle").

Reading the manuals I'm seeing the basics for structuring a filter and understand a bit of the methods readily available.  The problem I'm having is getting the template reference tied back into the html.

I've added a templates/problems.tmpl and modified the www/index.html and templates/header.tmpl to add this (respectively):

index.html
[clipped]
<TD CLASS="unsel"><A HREF="/printers/">  Printers  </A></TD>
<TD CLASS="unsel"><A HREF="/problems/">  Problems  </A></TD>
[clipped]

header.tmpl
[clipped]
<TD CLASS="{SECTION=printers?:un}sel"><A HREF="/printers/">  Printers  </A></TD>
<TD CLASS="{SECTION=problems?:un}sel"><A HREF="/problems/">  Problems  </A></TD>
[clipped]

problems.tmpl
{#printer_name=0?:
<TABLE CLASS="list" SUMMARY="Printer List">
<THEAD>
<TR><TH><A HREF="{THISURL}?QUERY={?QUERY}&WHICH_JOBS={?WHICH_JOBS}&FIRST={FIRST}&ORDER={ORDER=dec?asc:dec}">{ORDER=dec?<SMALL>&#x25b2;</SMALL> Queue Name <SMALL>&#x25b2;</SMALL>:<SMALL>&#x25bc;</SMALL> Queue Name <SMALL>&#x25bc;</SMALL>}</A></TH><TH>Description</TH><TH>Location</TH><TH>Make and Model</TH><TH>Status</TH></TR>
</THEAD>
<TBODY>
{{printer_state!3?true:false}
{[printer_name]
<TR><TD><A HREF="{printer_uri_supported}">{printer_name}</A></TD><TD>{printer_info}</TD><TD>{printer_location}</TD><TD>{printer_make_and_model}</TD><TD>{printer_state=3?Idle:{printer_state=4?Processing:Paused}}{printer_state_message? - "{printer_state_message}":}</TD></TR>
}
}
</TBODY>
</TABLE></DIV>}


I see the tab appear on the webpage but get a 404 when invoking the tab.  What am I missing (or worse doing wrong)?  Thanks in advance.
