Printing on MacOSX with libgtkhtml 3.14

Has anyone gotten printing to work in GnuCash on MacOSX 10.4 with 
libgtkhtml 3.14?  When I try printing a report to a CUPS printer it 
fails with messages like

* 01:19:57  WARN <> Error result: successful-ok

I tracked this down to the fact that calls to ippWrite from 
_post_write_request in GTK are failing with a return code of IPP_ERROR, 
but cupsLastError() returns "successful-ok", which sounds somewhat 
unlikely.  If I tell it to print to a file it creates a valid PDF file. 
I've also gotten preview to work, so things are basically working.  I 
just can't send the print job to the printer.  I've tried several 
different printers and drivers, by the way, and they all do the same 
thing.  I don't think it is getting far enough to really send anything 
since WireShark doesn't see any relevant traffic on localhost.

It is using the version of libcups that is part of the OS although 
libgtkhtml and the rest of GTK dependencies were installed with 
MacPorts.
