Another useful place for errors is $HOME/.xsession-errors. I recently
went through some problems with my printer, and found some good info
there. Try doing a "tail -f .xsession-errors", and then launching a
print, and see if you can capture anything useful.

I know these things can be frustrating. But with enough information, the
answer can be found. :)
