In certain cases (my Minolta-Konica Magicolor 2300 DL for example) you 
must make sure you have the proper PPD file in place, possibly in 
/etc/cups/ppd. When you install the printer one of the cups screens will 
ask "Have driver?" with a radio button. Click on the button and give the 
path to the .ppd file.

I was tearing my hair out in clumps before I recognized that the cups 
list of .ppd files didn't include one for my printer.
