There must be a misconfiguratin on in the cupsd.conf but I cna't find

Would someone whose home network has printing working be willing to
share there cupsd.conf with me?
You've motivated me to have another bash at this, since it used to work,
but no-longer does on my network (I stopped trying to get it to browse,
and manually configured each client to use the server). It was
convenient to have it working, so I figured it worth the effort to try
again.
I've had a play, and got it working again. If all goes well, you'll
only have to do three things (change what I say, save the file, and
restart CUPS on the server). The clients should have the original
default cupsd.conf and client.conf files (they need nothing done to them
for browsing to work).
Scroll through your server's cupsd.conf file until you get to the
BrowseAddress parameters. Despite what it suggests, BrowseAddress
@LOCAL doesn't work for me (though @LOCAL works in other areas of the
configuration). Specify an address for your server to broadcast its
details in one of the following manners:
BrowseAddress 192.168.1.255
BrowseAddress 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
BrowseAddress @IF(eth0)
Those options, at least, work on my system (FC4 on clients and servers).
Change the addresses to suit your own network. Read the comments in the
original file around that area.
Below is an abbreviated example server configuration (I've removed
masses of explanatory comments provided in the original file, but left
various defaults showing - makes it easy to find the ones to fiddle
with, and do it in the right places, but doesn't make this e-mail huge).
Change the addresses to suit your network (mine's on a 192.168.1 subnet,
my server is at 192.168.2), use your own domain names instead of
example.com). Change the ServerAdmin address if you want, but the other
"localhost" addresses are on purpose, and should stay that way.
Mine allows relatively unfettered access to print, but only the local
machine can reconfigure. For anyone implementing CUPS over a wider
network than a home LAN (and that includes wireless), be more stringent
that I have.
