OK, well your driver choice seems right then.  Getting no output makes
me wonder if it's receiving raw text that it doesn't like or something
else like that.

Might as well try that first.  At least you can work out the right
driver, before you start to worry about the printer server device.

Did you use the cups web interface to add the printer?  DId you pick the
pritner by brand/model from the list?  What port did you tell it to
print to?
