in cups you have the choice between jet-direct, ipp, http, smb and more,
my suggestion was to try the jetdirect if you didn't do that yet,

furthermore, if i were you i would look at the logfiles from cups (put 
them in debug-mode if needed), it's possible that you need to change 
some permissions in the cups-spoolfile (and perhaps even a tcpdump can
be helpful)

GL!
