You are probably bit by the infamous ACL (access control list) bug. All 
Linux boxes on your network should automagically see all of your CUPS 
printers, assuming your networking is correctly set up, because CUPS 
broadcasts itself to the network. Do this:

"In cupsd.conf, find:

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>

Add the local network information using values appropriate for your 
network:

Allow from 192.168.1

Then find the BrowseAddress section and specify the broadcast address:

BrowseAddress 192.168.1.255 "
