Your CUPS server has an identity crisis.  The HTTP header says the job
is for "marvel..." but that is not the server it was received by.

 1. Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
 1.1. Add the directive "ServerAlias *"
 3. Restart CUPS

If that fixes it then take the line back out, fix your hostname, DNS,
etc... so that the requests come named for the correct host.
