I've actually had some discussions with Sun the other day; the issue is that the default server address in CUPS 1.2 is a domain socket, which Java does not support. They will be implementing a fix for that (fallback to localhost IP socket), but in the meantime you can create/update an /etc/cups/client.conf file containing:
ServerName localhost
to force your Java applications to use IP instead of domain sockets. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
