Just a "me too" so far with an el cheapo Lexmark USB laser printer (E210). 
Are you using the foomatic script? I am, with a PPD from linuxprinting.org.

I'm going to try backing up and blowing away my etc/cups dir, re-updating 
the port, reinstalling foomatic and my ppd, and see if that makes any 
difference. I'll post whatever I learn.
