Ok, let me try. I may not get this correct on the 1st go round, but we
will get there.
My server/firewall/etc box runs the real cups daemon and has my printers
physically attached to it -- except for the network laser.
Here is an excerpt of the cups setup for the server. Note that this is
on a closed/firewalled network and there is basically no security on the
cups server/daemon. I was forced to do this, as every time I tried to
restrict access, it completely broke cups printing.
----------- /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (on server)----------------
ServerName 10.0.0.1
<snip>
User lp
Group lp
<snip>
Port 631
<snip>
Browsing On
BrowseAddress 10.0.0.255
BrowseAllow 10.0.0.*
BrowseDeny All
<snip>
SystemGroup lp
<snip>
<Location />
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
Deny From None
</Location>
<Location /printers>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
Deny From None
</Location>
<Location /admin>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
Deny From None
</Location>

----------- /etc/cups/client.conf (on other linux boxes)----------------
ServerName 10.0.0.1
---------------------------
That is all I can find right now. If I am missing anything, I will
have to do some digging. Let's hope that is it. Give it a go.
I should tell you that the way I debugged this was to get an 'ethereal'
session running (filter traffic as required) so that I could watch the
cups traffic. There is broadcasting going on.

should be able to do this...

The 2 hp(s) are connected to my server box. The AR161 is the network
printer that is spooled from cups.
Good luck... post how it goes.
I may not be able to get back to you anymore tonight.
