Andreas,

What version of CUPS are you using?

What were you using for a BrowseAddress before?

What other addresses are associated with the interfaces?

But any printers published from this server still carry the URI "ipp://192.168.1.1:631/printers" (the primary IP address of the server). I added "BrowseAddress 192.168.1.20" to cupsd.conf, and now browsing stops working at all.
