I found the reason behind cups not connecting to the printer. It is the
firewall (ufw) that was blocking the lpd connection to the printer.
This is my firewall setting when it is active. I tried to print with
firewall disabled and it worked.
sudo ufw status numbered

So problem resolved and I'm sorry for the unnecessary bug complain!
