No you are right. But I can not see why it should not work. The only reason I see why it doesn't work is because I have to use hplip. Formerly I had an Epson printer running which worked from Windows and Linux and was connected to exactly the same Router/Print-Server. I made it work with enabling Socket/JetDirect in the CUPS config and afterwards the apropriate driver. For this driver I didn't need a running daemon or such. So for printing the stuff was translated on my system and redirected to the router as far as I understood it. I'm not sure what hplip does.
I got an ouptut with my HP printer but only trash. If I remember correct I didn't use the HPLIP driver. I just send it Raw.
