I went through this problem with OSX Leopard.  Leopard by default only
accepts MDNS (Bonjour) updates over the LAN.  You can allow it to accept
CUPS updates by changing its /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file BrowsePrtocols
line to:

BrowseProtocols cups dnssd

You can do this with cupsctl on the Mac. e.g.

sudo cupsctl BrowseProtocols='"cups dnssd"'

or edit the cupsd.conf file and reload the CUPS server.

You will also need to add the printer to the Mac client's printer list
via the System Preferences Print & Fax tool.  The printer will not show
up by default on the client as in previous OSX versions.
