I have written some basic info about how to find out whether your
printer supports driverless [1] and how to setup it [2]. If you have at
least F33 and have the device in your LAN, you can use temp queues for
sure, otherwise you need to create a permanent queue via lpadmin:

$ lpadmin -p <name> -v <uri from lpinfo -l -v or ippfind> -m everywhere -E


If you still experience the issue, do feel free to file a bug for cups
in bugzilla and I can look into it further.
