I've been closely following the Gentoo Printing Guide. Everything went as described until the "Print Test Page" simply didn't cause a print!
# tail /var/log/cups/error_log
resulted in the following (abreviated):
Possible error on renderer command line or PostScript error. Check options
Renderer process finished
Killing process 6213 (KID3)
Process dying with "Error closing renderer", exit stat: 3

can anyone please offer advice where to go from here?

Check out the www.gentoo-wiki.com for more specific help.
