Perhaps the CUPS server is only set to allow you to "browse" the queues
but not actually access them. Make sure you have a section like this:
# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow localhost
Allow 192.168.0.*
Allow @LOCAL
</Location>
Change the "192.168.0.*" to the appropriate subnet for the thin clients.
Then, restart cups on the server.
