I have set up a little printing server at home. In OpenSUSE 10.1, I had configured the cups server to accept requests from the local network. As a result, my printer was automatically seen by all cups clients on the network, including Mac OS X, without any manual configuration. In OpenSUSE 10.2, I'm using the new possibility, "Remote access settings", which is much easier. It works well, but I need to declare and configure the printer on other computers. It looks like the cups server doesn't "broadcast" its printing queues, so they can't be autodetected.
Up to Suse Linux 10.1 we had CUPS 1.1 and since openSUSE 10.2 we have CUPS 1.2 which is not fully backward compatible with CUPS 1.1. E.g. by default cupsd in CUPS 1.2 listens only on internal ("localhost") network interfaces (and a Unix domain socket) so that you must change it to listen on the outer network too: Either add someting like "Listen IP.of.your.server", see http://localhost:631/help/ref-cupsd-conf.html?TOPIC=References&QUERY=#Listen or use YaST via "Other" -> "Change remote access" and make sure that you use the firewall to protect your host if it is accessible from any untrusted network. Regarding "Browsing" versus "Client-only configuration" see: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell By the way: In case of an update it is recommended not to use an outdated cupsd.conf from a CUPS 1.1 installation before but to start from scratch with the original cupsd.conf from our CUPS 1.2 RPM.
