I recently did some research on this problem (though I don't have the
problem myself), and ran into the following description:

| The issue is that the default server address in CUPS 1.2 is a domain
| socket, which Java does not support.  They will be implementing a fix
| for that (fallback to localhost IP socket), but in the meantime you
| can create/update an /etc/cups/client.conf file containing:
|
| ServerName localhost
|
| to force your Java applications to use IP instead of domain sockets.

A quick way to test this without modifying your system:

| Another possible workaround which can be limited only for Java
| applications is to set/export the environment variable
| "CUPS_SERVER=localhost" before a Java application is started.

At a command line prompt, try "env CUPS_SERVER=localhost moneydance" to
start with this setting in effect, and if it fixes the problem, you can
either modify moneydance's startup script to set this variable, or you
can modify your client.conf file to force all printing to be done via
IP.
