It's not that it's per-application -- rather, it's done in the client
libraries of CUPS (libcups) rather than in the server.

One reason to do it this way is to avoid needing to run a CUPS server on
the client at all, while still retaining automatic discovery.

Ok, I think I was confusing the gtk3/gtk2 talk in the bug report....

If you're using F-18 clients and want things to work "as before", use
CUPS Browsing. For that you'll need to enable cups-browsed on the server
and configure it to announce printers using the "CUPS" protocol rather
than DNS-SD.

That's what's weird... I tried that (as far as I could tell) and it didn't work, but when I restored my conf file and stopped cups-browsed then it started working!

I did a diff between the F19 defail cupsd.conf and the existing one from F18 biggest difference seems to be:

Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow all
BrowseRemoteProtocols CUPS
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
BrowseLocalProtocols CUPS dnssd

But one side effect is when I try to go into the printer properties on the client, there's almost nothing there (in the gnome3 one).

I'm also having problems with system-config-printer similar to the "can't add printers" BZ.

I was trying to do all this remotely from work yesterday to get my wife printing but I'm home today so if you want to try anything or get information today is the day to do it!

Thanks,
Richard
