Ah! Thanks. I switched to cups about a month ago, but I only have one
printer so I never got to the browse features. At the risk of
repeating what you already know: Debian turns browsing off by
default. See /usr/doc/cupsys/README.Debian.gz. You will need to modify
the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to enable browsing. I believe cups will only
discover other cups printers and servers. I was under the impression
that with browsing you never had to do anything to detect printers,
cups auto discovered them.
Cheers!
