Even the ipp:// URL should work. If you have jetdirect support windows also 
uses the tcp_ip socket option(socket option in cups) for specifying a 
printer. That is the only way the print server in my place works.

Also check the permissions in cups, and see that octet-stream content-type is 
handled by cups.
