Last test for tonight:

My /etc/cups/cupsd.conf is back to default
The CUPS_SERVER variable is NOT set.

My /etc/cups/client.conf is all comments so in affect is being ignored.  
First I added the line:

ServerName localhost

I did not restart cups (thanks Fuzzy Fox).

All 4 java versions printed just fine.

Next I tried:

ServerName /var/run/cups/cups.sock

This seemed to be ignored.  Printing in the 1.5.* javas did not work.

My wife's linux machine and my xp laptop printed with either line in the 
file.  The xp machine was having some troubles printing correctly 
tonight, but I don't think it is related to any of my tests.  I think 
the machine just needs a reboot.  Windows seems to like that from time 
to time.

If you don't have a /etc/cups/client.conf, you can create it with just 
the single line:

ServerName localhost

I tried that and it worked just fine.

Unless I run into some problems when I do a better test with the network 
printing and java, I am giong to go with:
No CUPS_SERVER variable set
default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
modified /etc/cups/client.conf with the 'ServerName localhost' line 
added.

Hope that helps someone.  Sure helped me learn a few things.
