I've tried every protocol (ipp, http, jetdirect, etc.) in the list offered by the http://localhost:631 interface, but none of them work. Here is my current configuration from /etc/cups/printers.conf

I doubt if this printer speaks IPP; we have several 4050N printers
running here and all of 
them are configured with the hpnpf backend (but the socket backend
should do as well).

As an example for the device URIs we use:

DeviceURI hpnpf://name_of_the_printer:9100/TBCP
