After years of effortless printer setups on 10.1 and earlier,
I've stumbled. The CUPS web-based admin works wonderfully,
but when I try to print from any app, I seem to get stuck
in a way I've never seen before. Google shows others appearently
having similar issues, but no solutions could I find.

Printer is a Brother HL-2060

When trying to print from vim, after a few seconds of
'sending to printer', the message changes to 
'E365: Failed to print PostScript file'. 

Firefox just thinks there is a "Default/PostScript" printer,
not finding the real one, and of course, laboriously prints
nothing...

OpenOffice seems similarly clueless about where to find the 
printer.

Never had these problems in 10.1 or earlier, and I haven't
any idea what to do about them.

Trying to check the printer in kprinter: 

after un-confusing kprinter that the CUPS server is on localhost,
and not the IP of the printer, kprinter does a perfectly good
job of printing a test page.


Some potentially useful information:


$ lpr test_printer.txt 
lpr: Error - scheduler not responding!

$ lpstat -p -d
lpstat: server-error-operation-not-supported
no system default destination

lpoptions -p Brother_HL-2070N_series -l
lpoptions: Unable to get PPD file for Brother_HL-2070N_series: 
client-error-not-found

(the above is odd, considering both cups and kprinter can print a test
page just fine...)

$ cat /etc/printcap 
# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file.  All changes to this file
