in an attempt to try to solve the problem I've changed some configuration.
On the departemental printserver (aqua.cs.kuleuven.be) I still use the BrowseAdress directive but I use the servers dns instead of it's ip.
On the secretary printserver (happy.cs.kuleuven.be) I use this config:
BrowseAllow from aqua.cs.kuleuven.be:631
BrowseAddress 192.168.13.0
BrowsePoll aqua.cs.kuleuven.be:ipp
# relaying the printers browsed to 134.54.43.7 (happy) to 192.168.13.0 (secr network)
BrowseRelay 127.0.0.1 192.168.13.0

the clients ons the secretary network connect to happy via ServerName happy.secr.cs.kuleuven.ac.be.

But still (on the secretary network) I don't get to see the printers browsed by aqua. Is this normal, and how can I fix this?

thanks
