DESCRIPTION

normally located in the /etc/cups directory. Each line in the file can
be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment. Comment lines
start with the # character.
DIRECTIVES
The BrowseAllow directive specifies a system or network to accept CUPS
browse packets from. The default is to accept browse packets from all
hosts when BrowseRemoteProtocols uses the CUPS protocol.

BrowseAllow 192.168.7.0/24

The BrowsePoll directive polls a server for available printers once
every 60 seconds. Multiple BrowsePoll directives can be specified to
poll multiple servers. The default port to connect to is 631. Browse‐
Poll works independently of whether CUPS browsing is activated in
BrowseRemoteProtocols.
