CUPS printer discovery is disabled in Leopard; use:

     cupsctl BrowseRemoteProtocols=cups

or just add a line to your cupsd.conf file:

     BrowseRemoteProtocols cups

That said, the new print dialog does not show CUPS shared printers
by default - you'll need to add each of the shared printers you want
to use (internally this just sets a "favorite" flag for the queue...)
