I am proposing the attached patch to address this. Feel free use it as a
base for further expansion or to include it as is.

The observation about cups-browsed not supporting the "old" browse
protocol was wrong. Thanks to Didier for pointing out. The default
configuration of the package is not sufficient though. To interact with
wheezy cups systems the value "cups" needs to be added to
BrowseRemoteProtocols and BrowseLocalProtocols (for either direction).
This is not difficult once you know what to do.
