Bug Description
I have enabled network browsing as to setup a network printer but this didn't lead to any results.
The network printer is configured in a SuSE box and it does broadcast the printer.
Also, I've tried to publish that very same printer on the network with DNSSD, and avahi-discover in this Ubuntu box detects the network printer but gnome-cups-manager does not so I'm wondering if gnome-cups-manager supports network browsing at all.

For CUPS sharing, please take a look at http:// www.grad. hr/~ivoks/ ubuntu/ cups/HOWTO- enable- browsing. This is HOWTO for enabling sharing on server. To enable lookup of shared printers in Dapper, just check "Detect LAN printers" in gnome-cups-manager.
CUPS in Dapper doesn't support DNSSD.
