Printing to a remote Cups queue

[dave]

Earlier today I went through this and in the end I had to enable 
browsing in cupsd.conf. No matter what I tried in the uri box, nothing 
worked for me.

Anyway, if you want the shared printer to automagically show up in the 
printer list, edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf...specifically change the line 
that says:

Browsing Off

to:

Browsing On

Reopen the Printing utility and you should be able to print to the 
shared printer. As an added bonus, when you leave your network you won't 
see that printer anymore. For example, when I go to work, I don't see 
the printer on my home lan...so no need to deselect it when I want to 
print at work.

The Ubuntu developers turned this feature off to keep to their 
philosophy of no open ports in a default install.
