You might want to read something about cups broadcasting.

man cupsd.conf /Browsing

Yes

But now, lets get to the Fact why this is not working. Before Centos 5
there was Cups 1.2 and a Gnome Frontend designed to work with 1.1.

The RH Devs decided it would be easier to fix it with xml transition
files than leave the users with the web frontend alone.

Now in Rhel5/Centos5 is a frontend which works directly with Cups 1.2 so
there is no need for the xml magic anymore.
