The way this should work is that CUPS browsing makes the queue available 
to the upstairs computer.  Use tcpdump/wireshark on the upstairs machine 
to find out if UDP port 631 packets are being seen.  If so, the problem 
is most likely

  * the firewall on the upstairs machine (which needs to allow incoming 
UDP port 631), or

  * the CUPS sharing settings on the upstairs machine (which should 
enable 'Show printers shared by other systems' -- this is the default).

If you've tried both of these things, use the printing troubleshooter on 
the upstairs computer to try to discover the problem.
