NAME
       cups-browsed - A daemon for browsing the Bonjour broadcasts of shared, remote CUPS printers

SYNOPSIS
       cups-browsed [-v | -d | --debug]

DESCRIPTION
       cups-browsed has three independently switchable functions:

       1.  Browse Bonjour broadcasts of remote printers and create/remove local raw queues pointing to these printers.

       2.  Browse CUPS broadcasts of remote printers and create/remove local raw queues pointing to these printers.

       3.  Broadcast local queues with the CUPS protocol.

OPTIONS
       -v, -d, --debug
	      Debug mode

FILES
       /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf

NOTES
       Please take references to cups 1.6.x to include newer versions.	Similarily, cups 1.5.x is intended to encompass older versions too.

       In  environments  with only cups 1.6.x servers and clients (plus cups-browsed on either server or client or both) the function described in
       1.  enables the automatic discovery of remote queues and their display in printing dialogues of applications and with command line tools.

       The facility provided by 3. means that servers running cups 1.6.x plus cups-browsed can broadcast their local queues so that  clients  with
       cups  1.5.x  get  these	queues automatically available. The outcome of 2. is that clients running cups 1.6.x plus cups-browsed can use the
       CUPS broadcasts from servers with cups 1.5.x. As with browsing of Bonjour broadcasts, the created local raw queues are available to  appli-
       cations and command line tools.
