Bingo! ie, that brings up the printers. So the correct new .conf format is as follows:
# Which protocols will we use to discover printers on the network? # Can use DNSSD and/or CUPS, or 'none' for neither. BrowseRemoteProtocols dnssd # Use BrowsePoll to poll a particular CUPS server # BrowsePoll cups.example.com BrowsePoll cups.ncs.mcgill.ca (1) If we were to advise McGill on an update to http://kb.mcgill.ca/?portalid=2&articleid=4762#tab:homeTab:crumb:7:artId:3297 are there cupsctl commands which would generate the above? (2) For those carrying out an upgrade to 13.04, could the changes above be automated in the upgrade process?

Under 12.04 I just typed (with sudo) once cupsctl BrowsePoll=cups.ncs.mcgill.ca:631 cupsctl Browsing=On and restarted the cups server and then lpstat -p listed the printers I could use, and lp -U... -d mcgill_mono etc would send my jobs to the printer.
