I could also try configuring the printer as a SAMBA printer since it is principally used with Windows computers.

If the printer is connected directly (via ethernet) to network then forget samba printing.
Fisrt of all, you can establish whether or not you have network connectivity with the IP address of printer. For example, I have a network printer (Brother MFC7820CN) connected with an IP address 192.168.0.24:
See if you can get a reply with ping command.
Not sure how you configured printer, but an overview as follows (sorry if this part obvious):
CUPS > Administration > Add Printer. Give your printer a name, then choose 'LPD/LPR Host or Printer'
Now, enter device URL like this (use the applcable IP address):
(This also works for me --> lpd://192.168.0.24)
Follow the prompts until done.
See how that goes. You should also try test printing from the CUPS interface.
Good CUPS network printing
