Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-3

I have the following interface on my machine:

3: lan: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    inet 192.168.0.1/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global lan

However, I cannot get "BrowseAddress @IF(lan)" to work (i.e., both
"tcpdump -i lan port 631" and "strace -o ~/dump cupsd -f" show cupsd
is not sending any broadcast printer information packets over the
interface).  If I manually specify the interfaces broadcast address
with "BrowseAddress 192.168.0.255", everything works fine (i.e., as
can be seen by either the above commands).

My complete set of Browse options in cupsd.conf are:

Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow @LOCAL
#BrowseAddress @IF(lan)       # Does not work
BrowseAddress 192.168.0.255  # Does work

Thanks!  -T
