Browsing settings in cupsd.conf are not important, they are only
important for CUPS daemons on client and server talk to each other and
so the client's daemon gets the server's queues. You specify the server
in client.conf which makes the client directly talking to the server's
CUPS daemon and not to the local CUPS daemon. With this configuration
you can even stop the local CUPS daemon as the applications do not talk
to it. If there are no access permission problems the client should see
the server's print queues.

What you have to check:

1. Make sure that your router (DHCP server) always assigns the same IP
address to your server and to your clients.

2. Is the host name or IP in the client.conf the correct one of the
server. In case of a host name, does the client resolve the name
correctly (run "host <NAME>") and check whether the correct IP address
gets found.

3. In cupsd.conf you choose explicit IP addresses for the clients which
are allowed to connect. Check whether the addresses are correct. Run
"ifconfig" on the client to find out which IP address it has. Try also
allowing access to the whole local network by using @LOCAL istead of a
concrete IP address.

4. Is there nothing like a firewall or similar in the way?
