Essentially the main issue for me has been that I am not prompted to authenticate my jobs, which causes them to sit in the queue with 'Held for authentication' as the status.

Interestingly enough, one of these jobs was still sitting in the queue when I followed the steps you suggested (kill applet, run system-config-printer-applet --debug) and to my surprise the prompt was displayed. I entered my credentials and the print job went through.

Unfortunately, I did not save think to save the debug output, and have since been unable to get the authentication dialog to re-appear. I've followed the steps above again, beginning with an empty queue. Once the applet is running in debug, I have gone into OpenOffice and selected print. The job is added in my print queue, but the applet does not appear, and no authentication dialog is presented. I've attached the debug output from this sequence of events (as of the final line attached, the job is still in the queue with a state of 'Held for authentication'.
