Sorry, you don't need a specific "ipp-browsing-tool" on the client. (Which ones did you have in mind, specifically?)

The only "ipp-browsing-tool" you need is a locally running CUPS daemon. If configured with "Browsing On" (and not denying any incoming browse information), it will automatically make available all printers shared by CUPS daemons on other hosts.

Cheers,
Kurt
