I wish we knew the cause of these symptoms; but never mind.

The two queues use different backends, which would account for the
difference in behaviour of the printers,
Ubuntu 13.04 has cups 1.6.2-1ubuntu5. There is substantial co-operation
between Debian and Ubuntu over the printing system, so I'm inclined to be
optimistic and expect cups from unstable to fix this bug. Perhaps this
does it:
* debian/patches/printers-c-recognize-remote-cups-queue-via-dnssd-uri.patch,
Treat raw queues pointing to a CUPS server as remote queues (using PPD on
server) also if they have a "dnssd://..." URI.
The definitive way would be be to test with testing/unstable on a spare
partition or a USB stick (any chance of your doing that?), but meanwhile
I do not think it too unreasonable to mark the bug as fixed.

I wonder whether changing the backend might get you printing.
1. Stop cups:
service cups stop
2. Open /etc/cups/printers.conf in an editor and comment out the line
beginning 'DeviceURI . . .'. Replace it with
DeviceURI socket://192.168.1.79:9100
or
DeviceURI ipp://192.168.1.79:631/printers/HP-Photosmart-3300-series
3. Start cups:
service cups start
Cheers,
Brian.
