cups-1.4.1 browser interface does not find cups shared printer

Using cups-1.4.1, the browser interface does not find a printer shared on the local network using cups-1.3.8

The following command on the cups-1.4.1 machine will add the shared printer:

$ sudo lpadmin -p OfficeJetG85 -E -v ipp://192.168.1.100/printers/OfficeJetG85

..and I can print without problems from the cups-1.4.1 remote machine thereafter.

Note that using cups-1.3.8 on a remote machine with the same cupsd.conf as the cups-1.4.1 machine, the browser interface finds the shared printer without problems.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Regards, John
