Updating: The fact one printer works and the other doesn't is
irrellevant, as these printers use different backends (hp and hal).

The problematic printer is the one using the HAL backend. After some
googling I've found the suggestion of doing a "chmod 700
/usr/lib/cups/backend/hal" (and the same to the "usb" backend), and
restart cups. Doing so clears the "Permission denied" message, but
printer still doesn't work: it eats any document send to it without
printing nothing. At least for me.
