I tried installing the printer and such, it worked locally and with the CUPS web interface (print test page).  The problem I have, with 1.3 my Mac OS X and Windows XP (with bonjour software installed) was able to print to the printer without no problems.  Now with CentOS and CUPS 1.2, it doesn't even show up.  Do I need to use 1.3 because it is the only system compatible with bonjour?

You need to tell the Mac to share the printers via CUPS browsing.

Simplest way to do this is from the command-line:

     cupsctl "BrowseLocalProtocols='cups dnssd' BrowseAddress=@LOCAL"
