The CUPS print spooler on Linux doesn't run under your user ID (it is
a daemon process that your applications talk to), so it isn't too
surprising that changing your own group membership didn't make much of
a difference.

Does your distro do anything special to lock down CUPS (e.g. via
AppArmor or SELinux)?  Perhaps the security policy is blocking it?
