I think it depends on the printer you use. Cups4j has some CUPS specific methods, but most of them are IPP standard. You can give it a try, but I won't be able to support you with some printer I do not know.

as usual: "it depends" in general if you don't use any CUPS ipp vendor extensions cup4j should work. on the other hand you can find (limited) CUPS versions embedded in ipp printers (e.g. Brother VC 500). and you will find useful cups attributes being supported by normal printers as well, e.g. HPs support marker-levels (which are not ipp standard)
