above shows that your printer is "GENERIC PostScript Printer". Is
that what http://localhost:631 reports?
> The output of lpq reveals: lpq: printer not found
I would try:
lpoptions -d <printer name reported by cups/http> > media=Letter |\
sides=one-sided finishings=3 copies=1 job-hold-until=no-hold |\
job-priority=50 number-up=1 auth-info-required=none |\
job-sheets=none,none printer-is-accepting-jobs=1 printer-is-shared=1 \|
printer-location printer-state=3 printer-state-change-time=1215794769 \|
printer-state-reasons=none printer-type=12316
warning, untested: read "man lpoptions" and save the output of
"lpoptions" so you can restore it if the above makes a mess :^(

What distro are you running? Have you *ever* been able to print from
the cl? What printer and what name is assigned in cups?
ps: this conversation may be off-topic or vary loosely on-topic as it
pertains to/originated with printing from mutt.
ps1: I use muttprint but it requires lp to know your printer.
