I have had very bad luck in setting up new network printers over the last 4 years. I can get all of them to print from Windows and Mac, but every one of them from HP, Brother, and some other brands could not print anything from Linux. They were all 'Linux ready' but were doing it via either Google Print or a set of proprietary software blobs to be put on the computer. [They even came with ipp filters but they called the blobs]. I have a Brother MFC-27100W in my office which I print to via my wife's Mac because of this.
 

I have written some basic info about how to find out whether your printer supports driverless [1] and how to setup it [2]. If you have at least F33 and have the device in your LAN, you can use temp queues for sure, otherwise you need to create a permanent queue via lpadmin:

$ lpadmin -p <name> -v <uri from lpinfo -l -v or ippfind> -m everywhere -E


If you still experience the issue, do feel free to file a bug for cups in bugzilla and I can look into it further.
