Public bug reported: After upgrade to oneiric, client cannot see server's broadcast printers. Only after selecting "Show printers shared by other systems" AND "Publish shared printers connected to this system" does this work. I believe this is because it is not listening for the broadcasts. Diffing the two config files:
(matt@hiro) /etc/cups$ sudo diff cupsd.conf.broken cupsd.conf.works 4c4,5 < Listen localhost:631 --- > # Allow remote access > Port 631 It appears that it is not listening on port 631, so won't see the broadcasts go out (I think).
