I had this problem as well.  While investigating, I noticed that 
/var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp didn't exist.  I created them, and 
was able to get past the error message in bug 52944.  However, at the last 
step in the Add Printer process though the CUPS utililty at localhost:631, 
where you click continue after choosing the printer model, I would get this 
error mesage:  "server-error-internal-error".  Upon further investigation, I 
found that /var/log/cups was also missing.  I created that directory, and the 
logs appeared in there immediately.  In the error log was the following:

AddCert:  Unable to create certificate file /usr/local/etc/cups/certs/0 - No 
such file or directory.

I looked in /usr/local/etc/cups, and there was no certs directory.  I created 
that.  Then I tried again.  The next time I tried adding the printer, I got 
this error message:

add_printer:  Unable to copy PPD file from 
/usr/local/share/cups/model/laserjet1100.ppd to 
/usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/lj1100.ppd - No such file or directory!

And again, /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd didn't exist, so I created it.  Finally it 
added the printer, and it works, although it has crashed on me a couple of 
times and I'm getting continual messages warning me of possible DoS attacks 
from my own computer like so in my logs:

Possible DoS attack - more than 10 clients connecting from <myhostname>!

Also, although the web-based CUPS admin utility finds the drivers, KDE's 
utility (printmgr) does not.  I had to manually browse to 
/usr/local/etc/cups/model/laserjet1100.ppd.

All this makes me wonder what else is missing!

I updated the CUPS port. Does this problem still occur with the latest version?
