This is not a bug but a configuration problem:
Your client has a print queue set up with the driver for the printer and
so the client sends raw data for direct consumption by the printer to
the server. The server is not configured to accept raw data.
There are two solutions:
1. (Recommended) Set up a raw queue on the client. Then the jobs are
passed to the server without any filtering and the driver on the server
turns the job into the printer's native format. system-config-printer of
Lucid automatically sets up IPP print queues to remote CUPS servers as
raw queues. The client then even polls the driver options from the
server and shows them in the printing dialogs of the client's
applications.
2. Add the following two (one-line) files to /etc/cups on the server
(and do not forget to restart the CUPS daemon afterwards):
/etc/cups/raw.types:
----------
application/octet-stream
----------
/etc/cups/raw.convs:
----------
application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
----------
