Yes. On the Debian system, I installed cupsys-bsd, and I read a notice
about something talking about IPP not compatible. I do not really
remember what was it about.

On the Debian server:
The Browse* directives are
BrowseAllow 192.168.*
BrowseAllow 192.168.*
BrowseDeny All
BrowseOrder deny,allow
I'm going to set to @LOCAL
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
And see.

Hey!
I directly see the shared printer on the "printers" page of the client
CUPS!
Uh! I'm David Coperfield now :-) I've done something magic! And you
helped me.

Through the GNOME printer tool, i could see the shared printer, but I
did not see it untill I turned on the BrowserAddress setting.
Thank you for your help.
I'm now going to write the tutorial.
