Christopher, the BrowsePoll and CUPS Broadcastin/Browsing part is not written by me but contributed by Tim Waugh from Red Hat. It seems that in the config file the ":<port>" extension for server names is not supported but instead, always port 631 is used (works for 99 % of the users). Unknown directives (like "Browsing" seem to be ignored, and BrowsePoll works independently of whether CUPS Browsing ("BrowseRemoteProtocols cups") is activated or not.

Tim, can you add "...:<port>" support for server names?

Note that control via cupsctl is not possible as cupsctl only modifies /etc/cups/cupsd.conf by sending IPP commands to CUPS and CUPS actually doing the modifications. CUPS cannot modify any third-party file like /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf.
