Fedora 16 64 bit, Any CUPS experts out there? printing as user not working

I'm having trouble getting normal users to print on fedora 16 from the print dialog box. When a user attempts to print - everything looks like it should work - the dialog box for "processing" comes up, then the print complete one - but nothing makes it to the networked printer. Is there some new magical permissions thing in fedora 16 to allow users to print?

system-config-printer
This works fine- I've tried it as root set to lpd, ipp, raw, and the test pages all come out fine. This was the procedure for the last few fedoras - it's been pretty straightforward until F16.

normal user - print to file (output.ps), then CLI lpr output.ps
This works fine - a little cumbersome - but it prints, which points to a CUPS thing?

Failure mode - Printing from the dialog box:
Job goes to queue - queue shows job completed successfully.
On the print (Ricoh CL1000N networked PS printer) - it says "Job was reset"

Logs:
/var/log/cups error and access logs show no errors.

SELINUX and iptables are both shut off.

Anyone else have this problem?

[SOLVED]: Fedora 16 64 bit, Any CUPS experts out there? printing as user not working

The driver for the Ricoh CL100N printer I was using wasn't working correctly. I switched the driver to the generic postscript one, and the problem seems to have gone away.

The original driver that wasn't working: RAF10003.PPD version 1.10 is now set to POSTSCRI.PPD version 1.1.

The problem could be seen when printing the same app to a file: one a postscript file and again with a pdf file.

lpr output.pdf - fails
lpr output.ps - succeeds

there was a bug submitted on bugzilla and redhat was helpful getting it working.
