I have come across the same issue, also using cups.  I played around by 
placing symlinks to commands such as lpr and lpc in /usr/bin, pointing to 
their cups implementation. After some looking, I believe I determined that 
java is looking for some specific information from lpc and I wrote a shell 
script for lpc that produced what java was looking for and I was able to get 
a printer list.  But printing still didnt work.
