If you are on Maverick, update system-config-printer and python-cups. I have uploaded new versions of these packages yesterday. Several bugs can be fixed by that,

1) The attached crash is in the Job Viewer, but "system > admin > printing" opens the printer setup tool. Are you sure that you selected "system > admin > printing" when getting this crash. Can you reproduce the crash and then post the output of "lpstat -l -o"? Thanks.

2b) Your printer does not support a printer-internal test page. It is a bug of system-config-printer not graying out the buttons in such a situation. Report this as a separate bug of system-config-printer.

3a) Report a separate bug on system-config-printer.

4a/b) Right-click your printer's icon in the main window of the printer setup tool ("system > admin > printing"), choose "Properties" in the pop-up menu, then click "Change" button for make and model. Leave manufacturer and model as it is currently and choose as driver "hpcups", or "Foomatic/pxlmono".
