I'm currently four days of troubleshooting after having done all
that's listed on that wiki entry (though I didn't find that page until
yesterday), and still trying to get close. That would be one of the
pages I obliquely referred to as assuming that printing was
possible...

I'd have to disagree with this statement, based on experience. That
line has been in rc.conf since Januray, and cupsd *never* starts on
boot. I'd guess that there has to be something else done somewhere to
get it to actually start.
