I installed system-config-printer at the next boot and I found the printer already installed inside it without any manual operation. I could even print a test page. Then I uninstalled system-config-printer, rebooted again, and I could still see the printer and print from various applications. I have no idea what changed between these boots but now I can use my printer :) Doh! Thanks for your support guys!
