Can you 'see' your printers at this location?  You should get back a 
list of installed printers, even if they are networked.  If they are not 
there, then you will have to install them through Apple -> System 
Preferences -> Print & Fax.

In my case, I have no installed printers, so none appear there.

This does not work.  Your printer HAS to be available through CUPS.
