Cups: Printer doesn't print anything but cups doesn't show any error

I installed cups on my brand new machine. For some test pages, my HP LaserJet Professional 1102w worked as expected. Then, for no apparent reason, it stopped printing althoug I can't see any error messages. The print jobs just show up as "completed at Sat 11 Dec ...". Printing on the same printer works when it's plugged to another machine.

The printer is 'hp'. The 'hp_laser' printer which appears in the log is the same printer on a network host.

/etc/cups/cupsd.conf (pretty much default, just changed LogLevel and Port)

/etc/cups/client.conf

ServerName localhost:631

dmesg output (printer was plugged in after bootup, before /etc/rc.d/cups start)
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/303449/

/var/log/cups/error_log
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/303452/

/var/log/cups/page_log

hp 30 anonymous [11/Dec/2010:10:44:14 +0100] 1 1 - localhost Test Page - -

The printer was installed using hp-setup.

I would be very thankful for any hint.

Re: Cups: Printer doesn't print anything but cups doesn't show any error

Any updates on this?  I'm having a similar issue, except it's on a printer I've been using for a long time and only certain PDFs are causing problems.  Some PDFs print fine, but for others I am only able to print a few pages (and then the printer stops and it looks like the job was completed, except for the missing pages in the output tray).

@borlox, can you show your printers.conf.
@goodgrue, I don't think your issue is related.

@borlox: I think you're right.  I just completed another round of debugging and found that my printer is choking on postscript errors. I'm probably running into a driver/firmware issue...sorry for cluttering the thread, Leonid!

Sorry for the late answer, I've not been here for a while.
/etc/cups/printers.conf is:
