[cups.general] Enable Browsing on OS X

[Bill Moseley]

This seems to be a common issue, but I'm not having luck following the
suggested fixes.

I have Ubuntu as a spooler.  My other Linux machines see the spooler (and
its printers) just fine.  But, not in OS X.
I thought this was the answer:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2320604&tstart=240

cupsctl BrowseRemoteProtocols=3DCUPS

But, OS X is still not listing the shared printers.  Details of my config
below.

Also, both of my printers are network printers.  On Linux I get zeroconf
notifications about the printers being discovered.  The OS X machine doesn't
seem to see them.  Is that also cups related?

 Should I try and have the OS X box print directly to the network printers,
or should it connect to my Linux spooler?

Is it suppose to work like this?
1) Cupsd on my linux print server broadcasts that it has two printers
2) Cupsd on OS X sees the broadcast and knows about the printer
3) Add drivers for the discovered printers in OS X
4) Print

(This is old -- and is connecting directly to the printer, I see.  Printing
here seems to work just sometimes.)

If I ssh to a linux machine on my network I see these printers -- the first
was manually added the last two are from the my 192.168.1.10 spooler.
