I had the same error message as the initial reporter:

"Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds..."

and he did not post any error log.

I have found my problem.  In fact it was bug #396642.  Upgrading
cupsys-driver-gutenprint to version 5.0.0-3 fixed it.  Without PPD files

This version has not reached etch yet.  Could you please make sure it
makes it before the release ?
