The printername must be the same as on the Linux machine, which is
the server.

Again:

Listen 631
Browsing On

must be set on your cupsd.conf server machine. Don't forget to
/etc/init.d/cupsys restart.

Your Mac uses the driver of your server. This is one part of cups'
philosophy ;)

Try on your MAC:

$ lpstat -a

It must tell you that PrinterName is idle since some date. If not,
Mac can't communicate with the cups server.
