The Device URI "ipp://192.168.1.12/ipp/" looks strange.
Usually a ipp Device URI looks like described in
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/network.html
and
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell
Check which Device URI is used on the Mac OS X system
and use the same on the Linux system.

Perhaps additionally some kind of firewall or whatever kind
of restrictuion settings in the Airport Express may reject
a connection from the Linux system?
E.g. are all three hosts in the same network or sub-net?
To test basic network connection stuff use something like
ping -c 1 192.168.1.12
and
netcat -z 192.168.1.12 631 && echo OK || echo FAILED
