I changed "info" to "debug" in the cupsd.conf file, as per the 
instructions in the comments.

Then I went to CUPS web interface and tried to print a test page. It 
showed the job immediately complete without printing anything, as 
described before.

Then went back to the command prompt:

dave@example.com:~$ more /var/log/cups_error.log
/var/log/cups_error.log: No such file or directory
dave@example.com:~$ locate cups_error.log
dave@example.com:~$

I did read through this page, but I have to admit, I couldn't see 
anything that I was confident enough applied to my situation. I was 
unsure which distribution you've listed would be most applicable to 
Ubuntu, and which commands had the most likelihood of testing my 
printer. Just didn't really know which part to go with, really.
