I'm having this identical issue. Additional symptoms I've noted:
printing from Word or Excel produces a "Word could not communicate with the printer." or "Excel could not communicate with the printer." dialog box.
Printing from PowerPoint produces a "There was a printing problem. You may need to print again or adjust your printer settings."
Printing from Photoshop appears to work, but nothing ever comes out.
Printing from Safari produces a "Error while printing." dialog box. In the console, I get a log entry for Safari that reads "Printing failed because PMSessionBeginPageNoDialog() returned -30871."
Printing from TextEdit produces a "Error while printing." dialog box. In the console, I get a log entry for TextEdit that reads "Printing failed because PMSessionBeginCGDocumentNoDialog() returned -30870."
Switching "auth-info-required" from "negotiate" back to "username,password" throws up a username/password dialog box when printing - but printing works. Switching back to "negotiate" causes a printing failure again.
CUPS access_log shows a series of "Create-Job successful-ok" for everything attempted to be printed. Nothing in error_log or page_log.
Printing to a local or an IP printer works.
trev_f, have you made any progress on the issue?
