Ahhh! This looks just like the problem I had printing from SQL-Ledger, and
no other application. Try two things:
1) In /etc/cups/client.conf specify
CUPS_SERVER=localhost
b) As a user, 'export CUPS_SERVER=localhost' (without the quotes, of

No. Gs provides pdftops, and the printers work with PostScript.
