Does it work to run "lpstat -h server -a" as that user
where server is either you server's name or its IP?

If yes, I assume somewhere for this user there is
another CUPS server specified.
The usual suspects in this case are
the CUPS_SERVER environment variable or
a ServerName line in ~/.cupsrc or since CUPS 1.2
in ~/.cups/client.conf compare
