Accessing a pseudo Airprint printer with CUPS

Hi,

I'm the owner of an EPL-6200L printer. This printer has an horrible linux driver, so I decide to share it under my wife's PC (Win7 x64). I also got an iPad from which I want to print, so I installed airprint.exe to have Airprint emulation under windows as mentionned here : http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1293865 . Actually, I can print flawlessly from my iPad. My problem is that I'd like to print from my Archlinux box to my printer through this Airprint emulation. I have a fresh CUPS installation (1.5.0), printer is discovered automatically as "EPL-6200L @ Mathilde-HP (Epson Epson EPL-6200L)", I add it (the connection URI is : dnssd://EPL-6200L%20%40%20Mathilde-HP._ipp._tcp.local/ ) and I choose the generic postscript driver. But when I want to print a test page, I got the following error : "processing since Sat 28 Jan 2012 11:16:01 PM RET "no socket to connect to"". I can ping host "mathilde-hp" and "mathilde-hp.local".

Somebody got an idea why does it fail ?

Thank you,

Bruno.
