Ok, I've done that. However if I don't have a driver for my Mac I can't 
even select the printer when I'm trying to print something.


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

Again:

Listen 631
Browsing On


I've done that. It's there.


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


Tells me this:

lpstat: Unable to connect to server: Invalid argument


What is your network sort of? TCP/IP or what? Can you ping your Cups
server?
Yes it's TCP/IP, the server uses a fixed IP address, everyone else is on DHCP. I can do more than just ping the server as it's also my webhost. I'm able to connect to the webserver, ssh to it as well as telnet. Printing seems to be the only thing it won't do.
