I don't know anything about cups either, but probably your output is in some queue, waiting for the print-server to be started and empty this queue to the physical printer.

Concentrate your search in the cups docu on starting print-servers would be my first guess...

Let me know how this ends if you'd like, I'm having similar setup here...
