I had this problem between 2 linux boxes.  It turned out to be 2 things.  
First, is there an open network connection between the 2 boxes (I use NFS)?
Second, find out how CUPS works.  As Kevin says, manage it through a browser 
window but the address is http://localhost:631 not 633.  You definitely need 
to know what the address of the printer on the Mac is.
