Bob,

I think on your print server you need to 
a) cupsctl —share-printers
b) lpadmin -p printer -o printer-is-shared=true	# for each printer to share
c) properly configure avahi to advertise (among others) the service "_ipp._tcp“ .

El Capitan runs cups 2.1.0 and supports only DNSSD for printer sharing
(I’d not recommend to compile cups-browsed from the cups-filters package from
openprinting on your El Capitan box(es).
