Anyone having the immediately pausing network printer issue with Lion? My co-worker and I can't print to our network printers anymore, with the error:

D [25/Jul/2011:16:11:38 -0400] [Job 3] Backend returned status 1 (failed)
D [25/Jul/2011:16:11:38 -0400] [Job 3] Printer stopped due to backend errors; please consult the error_log file for details.
D [25/Jul/2011:16:11:38 -0400] [Job 3] End of messages
D [25/Jul/2011:16:11:38 -0400] [Job 3] printer-state=5(stopped)
D [25/Jul/2011:16:11:38 -0400] [Job 3] printer-state-message="Unable to connect to server"

in Cups' error_log. I've tried re-adding the printers, and resetting the printer system.

Unless Lion has the same weird cups error that 10.6.8 had (and was just recently fixed) this sounds like the drivers are still powerpc based, and only worked due to Rosetta, which Lion no longer supports.

Check with the device manufacturer if this is the case, and if they will be providing native intel code drivers for it. I have a bunch of workarounds I can think of, PM me with the device models, and I'll see if any can be used.
