Should list it in it's output... e.g.
brettp@erwin:~$ avahi-browse -t _ipp._tcp + vpn6 IPv6 Xerox Phaser 6110 @ fleur.catnip.org.uk Internet Printer local + vpn6 IPv6 laserjet @ fleur.catnip.org.uk Internet Printer local brettp@erwin:~$
If that's done, then you should be able to just do a Find Printers in cups on the client and it'll just work...
Brett has very kindly walked me through the steps to set this up, and now lpstat -t shows the printer as detected. For those that are interested, it was a per-printer share checkbox that I missed (I blame the ncurses interface :P ). Also of note, the avahi-browse command did not pick up the relevant printer - though it did pick up a different printer altogether. Much thanks again, Brett - let me know if you are ever in the area so I can buy you a pint. Srdjan
