A very nice write-up. I hope you do not mind a few comments.
1. It might be possible to find the printer's IP address from its front
panel.
2. cups depends on cups-client. 'apt-get install cups' is sufficient.
Jessie will be released with systemd as the init system; cups would
not be managed from /etc/init.d.
3. A Jessie install puts the first user in the lpadmin group. Further
users do have to be added.
It appears your printer also works with ipp.

The lpr command is in a package which is only suggested by cups; the
lp command comes with cups.
The 'Useful links:' section isn't clickable. Did you mean it to be?
