    Have you already checked, from the machine you installed cups on -
    http://localhost:631?
    This is a webinterface giving you some options you can set up -
    concerning the printer in question.

    Your printer should be available there as a printer in the list of
    available printers.
    You can also print a test page from that local webpage - showing whether
    the problem is the Gnome interaction with your printer, or CUPS who is
    misconfigured.

    I had to adapt some things myself on localhost:631 there when installing
    mine some while ago.

    Also - I had to add /ipp after my network address of the network printer
    when using ipp protocol:
    http://10.0.2.13/ipp

    Hope this helps ...

    greetings
    frank
