First (and I hope this is not an important issue), I am running under Kubuntu and not Ubuntu.

I say this because there was no commented line with the "FileDevice Yes" directive. I edited the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file and put that line at the end (without the quotes, of course). The file is attached.

Second, after following your instructions there was no /tmp/printout file after I printed. The tofile printer had been created, but nothing showed up in /tmp, not even if I printed as root.

Finally, hoping this will help you sort out the driver question, I offer the following as evidence that the issue is not print driver related:
1. My laptop, running (K)Ubuntu 6.06 successfully printed to the same printer (Canon PIXMA ip4200) using EXACTLY the same driver (i.e., the same file).

2. My laptop also successfully printed to an HP5650 printer, using the driver packaged with (K)Ubuntu 6.06, but my desktop (the one that is having problems) produced the same error when printing to the HP5650. It used the driver packaged with (K)Ubuntu 7.04.
