i got this working between a gentoo system and a mandrake 9.1 system. i'm not terribly worried about security on my network inside my firewall, so i set Browsing On and BrowseAllow @LOCAL. uncommented <Location />, <Location /printers> and <Location /printer/HP_LaserJet_4Si> (my printer) and set Allow From 10.1.0.0/24 (my network). you can refine these settings and even set password authentication. just read the file /etc/cups/cups.conf. it's format is very much like apache.conf. besides that i just used any browser and went to cups' built-in config at http://localhost:631. i don't remember if i had to manually add my printer in the config tool, but if you do, the address should be in the form ipp://192.168.0.2:631/printers/name_of_your_printer where 192.168.0.2 is the IP of the system with the printer attached to it.
that should be it. i just got this working, so it's fairly fresh in my mind. if you have more questions, please ask. l8r.
