It is not necessary for frank to be a member of either of these groups
in order to print.

You could look in /var/spool/cups. Please post the outputs of
lpstat -t
and
lpstat -u frank
Also, edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, change loglevel to debug, print and
look at /var/log/cups/error_log. You might want to compress it and post
it here for others to examine.
