Dear Scott,
you're completely right:
configuring a new computer I run into the same issue:
* adding a remote printer (via ipp:), first tests works fine
* after declaring it as the default, the Printer Administration Page on systemsettings fail. Running it from the console, it drops the same error messages as above.
The solution was to copy the appropriate ppd file for the defined remote printer to /etc/cups/ppd/ . (I my case, i was able to copy it from the same directory on the remote server, because in my case the printer is attached there as a local one.)
After restarting the cups service, the Administration Panel works, again. In addition, the print dialogs in other applications now choose the right default settings for the paper size.
