    Ah, I see. Well, the Browsing On and BrowseAllow lines are controlled
    by the 'Automatically find remote shared queues' check-box in the
    Sharing dialog. For network configurations in which broadcast browse
    packets are no good, you can try using the BrowsePoll/BrowseInterval
    directives -- see /usr/share/doc/cups-*/sam.*.
