E [03/Sep/2020:21:24:24 +0200] [Client 2190] Returning IPP client-error-not-possible for CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer (ipp://localhost/printers/ML-1640_NET_ZYXEL) from localhost.

Looks like permission problem. Adding printer using GUI works well:

system-config-printer

Possible issue: missing slash in socket address:

BAD: socket://192.168.179.2:9100
OK: socket://192.168.179.2:9100/
