Thought I had maybe fixed it but did it again. Tried to print something online and just get an error page.
Can't seem to find any options in the cups web page that pertains to drivers, I used root for the password. This is the log file:
Code:

Not much to go on, and none of those errors correspond with print jobs.
Also, printing takes bloody ages now. Like 2-3 minutes before it finally starts to print. It's almost like it's emulating a 300 baud serial link or something, but I think even that would be faster. :P
I did find the utility in Mint but nothing pertaining to drivers, so not sure if it's using the driver I installed or not. The test page works. The issue seems to only happen when printing from the internet, but oddball also from other sources. The slow issue seems to be everywhere. The test page took about 5 minutes before it started printing. The printer said "receiving data" and just sat there. Oddly it seems the ones that take very long are the ones that work. If it starts printing right away (as it would in Windows) then it's usually an error page.
I guess my next step is to try to configure the printer as a network printer and setup a separate print server VM, and see if by doing that it somehow makes the issue go away in the process.
