I had a very similar problem (running Debian Sarge with CUPS) not too long ago. I was able to print to a network printer as root but not as my normal user. But I could still print test pages from the CUPS HTTP interface on localhost:631. I eventually ran lpr under strace and found out that CUPS was looking at a dot file in my home directory, which apparently had incorrect settings or bad syntax or something. Deleting the file fixed the problem. If I remember correctly it was called ".lpoptions". Maybe this will help you? Good luck, -- Kevin B.
