I was blaming everything except CUPS :( !

Tried it; it fixed (?) that error and created another one.

The error-message now reads:

  /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip stopped with status 1!  

In the error log, the preceding steps are:

Not needed; the "print test" was run by "root" - who owns the file;
current permissions were changed (in accordance with the Debian bug
report) to 0755.

I think it is a lost cause and does not warrant any further
investigation.  

For what it is worth, the paper-feed on the Canon printer has no
problems with my (supermarket) copy-paper.

Thank you for the prompt attention to my problem.
