That should be all you need. I haven't run OS-X on my Powerbook for 
quite some time, but from memory, I didn't have to set anything special 
up on the Mac. You just enable browsing on the linux server, and all 
systems running CUPS should automatically see it.

Check your CUPS config file on the server and make sure you have 
browsing turned on, ie:

Browsing On

Having said that, I did have trouble getting browsing working initially. 
Others tell me it's supposed to be easy, but it didn't quite work 
out-of-the-box for me. Try the above, and post back if you have trouble.
