/usr/local/etc/cups is where mine is.

I'm not seeing anything in the errors that stands out - but I'm not an 
expert.  You might try changing loglevel to debug in cupsd.conf, 
restarting cups, and then trying to print. You should get more messages 
in error_log that may help. The messages that appear both before and 
after the actual errors might be helpful in diagnosing the problem.
