I seem to have this knee-jerk reaction that I automatically think of
Windows if network printing problems are mentioned. I somehow missed the
fact that only Debian machines are involved this time...
Let's see, can you connect to the CUPS frontend of machines B and C if
you use a browser on D? What happens if you add a printer on D and put
in the appropriate ipp://hostname[:port]/resource device URI for the
printers on B and C? Do you have any access restrictions (firewall,
portmapping) on B and C? If you run nmap on D, what is reported for port
631 on B and C?
