Cups upgrade remote printing breaks

On my recent cups upgrade to 1.2.10 my main server ceased to function as
a network printer. Files would print locally but files printer remotely
would stay in queue there. I see no errors in the cups logs etc.

I need to elaborate or perhaps it is a given that it was setup as browse ie
broadcasting to my other machines. That appears to work as the printer
shows up remotely and is selectable and usable.

I did notice that the overall layout of the cupsd.conf file did appear
to change. I just mimicked what I had in the previous conf in terms of
turning on browsing etc. I cannot figure out why these printed files do
not go to the server.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

First step is to turn on debugging (LogLevel debug in your cupsd.conf
file). Then study the log, google for the messages and post the relevant
bits of the log to the newsgroup if you have no joy.

Ahhh but the logs were empty because no one was listening basically
everything was working with the broadcast etc. Apparently I mucked up
the listen.... only needed a 'Listen *:631' but I confirmed the setup
using gentoo docs which are always excellent. I think google 'gentoo how
cups'. There are only a few changes but if you don't get right
And sometimes when upgrading gentoo you encounter too much change in an
app.
At any rate thanks. Lets hope Apple doesn't ruin cups.
