A CUPS < 1.6 server does not have native Bonjour broadcasting using Avahi; broadcasting with the CUPS protocol is the only choice. A CUPS >= 1.6 client would need BrowseRemoteProtocols cups for the remote queues to be visible on the client. > cups-browsed is also useful with a CUPS >= 1.6 server to allow CUPS > < 1.6 clients to browse its printer list (by using the old 'cups' > protocol in BrowseLocalProtocols). A CUPS >= 1.6 server does have native Bonjour broadcasting using Avahi and its queues will automatically be advertised that way. However, a CUPS < 1.6 client can only browse queues advertised with the CUPS protocol. cups-browsed can cause the server to do CUPS broadcasing with BrowseLocalProtocols cups Regards, Brian.
