Tentatively, this looks more like a cups-browsed issue. /etc/cups/cups-browsed should have a line "BrowseRemoteProtocols". Try uncommenting "LogDir /var/log/cups" and "DebugLogging file" and look at /var/log/cups/cups-browsed_log after restarting cups-browsed. Is the printer in there? Cheers, Brian.
