The CUPS which comes with 13.04 does not support BrowsePoll any more. This feature got dropped upstream. Instead you can use the legacy server/client support of the new cups-browsed which comes with 13.04. First, update your system so that you get cups-browsed of at least version 1.0.31-0ubuntu2. Then edit the file /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf adding the lines

BrowsePoll cups.ncs.mcgill.ca:631
Browsing On

and restart cups-browsed via

sudo restart cups-browsed

This activates the appropriate legacy functionality of cups-browsed.

Also note that you do not need to restart CUPS after using cupsctl. cupsctl already does it for you. And if you are in the account of the first user (or of any user who got granted admin rights) you can use cupsctl also without sudo.
