As far as I know the printer detection on the network changed from cups to mdns. So now the package libnss-mdns must be installed to assure the detection. I've set up a Debian Edu jessie based VirtualBox environment. After installing libnss-mdns on a workstation applications were aware of the printers configured on tjener. The printers were added automaticly to /etc/cups/printers.conf on the workstation. Wolfgang
