For many years, now, I've run a CUPS server on my LAN, that any distro
of Linux I've switched on has managed to find the printers it publishes,

making sure the firewall isn't in the way.
The CUPS server advertises itself, the clients find it, automatically,
and when I want to print something, there's a list of available printers
that I can print to. This is how it's supposed to work.
Fedora 20, however, finds nothing. I don't want to have to go around
configuring all the clients, and all the user accounts on each of the
clients. That's a really dumb way of doing things, something that CUPS
and Linux used to manage to avoid.
Nor do I want to play silly buggers with Avahi. None of the printers
are UPnP/zeroconf thingummies, nor the print server.
What is wrong with the Fedora 20 CUPS client?
Please make sure to enable and start the cups-browsed service. This is
needed nowadays to have the CUPS protocol and part of the cups-filters
package.
For the firewall, just enable the ipp-client service in the zone you are
using - if not enabled already.
