No. The configuration has to happen on the CUPS >= 1.6 client, see 2) above. > 4) On the CUPS < 1.6 client so that it can browse the printer list of > CUPS >= 1.6 printer servers? As I understand it, no, see 1) above. > Or even a completely different setup like some proxy machine which > queries the >= 1.6 server and broadcasts its printers to < 1.6 clients? No no, not that I know. The cups-browsed daemon works by managing raw queues on the cups instance that it has access to locally depending on network events. > So please update the long descrption of that package accordingly to make > clear where the package should be installed and where not. The next upload will have something along these lines: . cups-browsed is also useful with a CUPS >= 1.6 client to allow the latter to browse the printer list of CUPS < 1.6 servers (by using the old 'cups' protocol in BrowseRemoteProtocols). . cups-browsed is also useful with a CUPS >= 1.6 server to allow CUPS < 1.6 clients to browse its printer list (by using the old 'cups' protocol in BrowseLocalProtocols).
