This Package from 'testing' seems to set 'Browsing on' in 
/etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf. I experience major problems in our network 
when a client has this enabled. All our Sarge--systems (with CUPS 1.1) 
display the installed printers on the Testing-system, making it 
impossible to print anything out of a Java-Applet we use (sun-j2re1.5 
1.5.0+update03).

So I suggest to set /etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf to 'Browsing off' by 
default.

Cheers
Paul
