Thanks.  That was what I was afraid of.  I was hoping there was a way to 
do it without having to set anything up on the client systems.  Part of 
the reason I went with cups browsed printers was so that I wouldn't have 
to configure anything on the client systems.  Having to do an rsync (or 
anything else like that) doesn't fit well with what I was trying to do.

Thanks for your help though.
