Can you make available the output of

   grep -v "^#" /etc/cups/cupsd.conf |grep -v "^$"

and of

   ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/

Can you do "Configure printer" thru the web interface? (Go to
http://localhost:631/printers/hpdj3820)

What is written to the error_log if do "Print Test Page" thru
the web interface? (just the lines starting "print_job:
auto-typing file..."   until the line starting "CancelJob: id =")

Also, which version of CUPS and which distro are you using?
Is CUPS as shipped by the distro or is it self-compiled?

Cheers,
Kurt
