When I grepped my config file I did find the "Broadcast on" line. Were you looking in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf? I don't have any such line in mine, nor does the man page mention such a setting.
I commented it out and now don't have that broadcast flood, but my mobile devices can still address my CUPS server.
The first few lines of that file, as you mention, are now: ----------------------------------- SystemGroup sys root # Allow remote access Port 631 Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock # Enable printer sharing and shared printers. Browsing off # Browsing On # BrowseOrder allow,deny # BrowseAllow all # BrowseRemoteProtocols CUPS # BrowseAddress @LOCAL # BrowseLocalProtocols CUPS DefaultAuthType Basic WebInterface Yes ----------------------------------- Before editing browsing was on and all the other browser lines were enabled.
I'm running CUPS server 1.5.4-21.9.1 I'm running 1.5.4-5.11.1. I can't imagine any major differences, it's the same release.

I may have initially, years and years ago, set it up with YAST, but subsequently I've always maintained it either via the web interface or via editing the config file.
I'd strongly suggest using the web interface over the Yast! VERY STRONGLY! For managing printers, sure. For editing the config file, I prefer vi. Regardless, the web gui does not help me getting it to work on IPv6.
I presume you have a like something like the "listen" but for an IPV6 address? I wonder if the software is smart enough to interpret "localhost" BOTH ways? So a statement like Listen localhost:631 would apply for both IPv4 and IPv6. it depends, I suppose, on how you /etc/hosts is set up. Some idiots, I've learnt, actually delete the 'localhost' entry from there!
Perhaps at http://127.0.0.1:631/ Mine's at https://printserver.example.com:631, but that's irrelevant.
