I've been seeing this too lately. I believe it is since one of the recent kernel upgrades, but can't be 100% sure.

I'm running:
    Linux ze 2.6.31-18-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 8 14:54:52 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Aside: I've switched my printing to a network (ethernet) printer so I have no problems actually printing. The only annoyance is the messages in the system logs which may indicate a real problem:

I'm seeing the following every reboot:

[many more similar triplets of lines omitted]

I'm also seeing 8 of these (instead of the explicit paths) on every reboot:
