Ah, I see. Well, the Browsing On and BrowseAllow lines are controlled
by the 'Automatically find remote shared queues' check-box in the
Sharing dialog. For network configurations in which broadcast browse
packets are no good, you can try using the BrowsePoll/BrowseInterval
directives -- see /usr/share/doc/cups-*/sam.*.

I did use them. But the polling does not work, because it is not allowed
by the code automatically generated by s-c-p. I need the Allow From line in
the first mail on the subject, but can't find a way to get it to stay there
since it is hand edited in. BrowsePoll does not work if the connection is
not allowed.
