Listen vs. <Location />

One of the most confusing things for me had been what appear to be overlapping directives. For example, why is it necessary to specify both a Listen directive as well as the <Location /> directive? They both appear to control the same access, and I have not yet found a clear explanation of the differences.
Also, from the CUPS SAM, the explanation for the directive 'Browsing On':
"This directive does not enable sharing of local printers by itself; you must also use the BrowseAddress or BrowseProtocols directives to advertise local printers to other systems."
My question is simply 'why not'? In other words, if I set 'Browsing On' but did not set any BrowseAddress or BrowseProtocols, then how would CUPS behave?
I would be very grateful if someone could clarify and simplify these questions.
Thank you!
