CUPS 1.2 not detecting LAN printer exported by CUPS 1.1



Hello:

I know I'm not the only one having problems with CUPS 1.2, but mine's a little different.  I have a desktop system on my network running sarge, which has CUPS 1.1.  That system has my HP DeskJet printer attached.  Until a very recent upgrade of my laptop etch/testing system, the printer was known to the CUPS server (and clients) on my laptop, but now it's disappeared.  CUPS 1.2 is configured to 'Show printers shared by other systems' but isn't showing that one.

I got around the problem by including a "BrowsePoll server_name:631" directive, but that seems awfully clunky.  Is there a better way?

Patrick
