DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE. INSTEAD, POST ANY RESPONSES TO THE LINK BELOW. [STR Closed w/o Resolution] Sorry, CUPS browsing is gone for good. There are too many problems with the CUPS browsing protocol in modern network environments to continue using/supporting it. CUPS 1.6 supports DNS-SD for automatic client discovery of printers, and future versions of CUPS will also support LDAP and SLP. Unfortunately, it may take some time for desktop toolkits to support dynamic printers, but the APIs are there in CUPS 1.6...
