CUPS printer discovery is now done in the client library, libcups. That
means that, for example, the GTK+ print dialog will do the discovery
when the dialog is presented.

The discovery mechanism in Fedora 19 is DNS-SD (using Avahi). Previous
releases also supported "CUPS Browsing" -- if you need this, you'll need
to configure and enable the "cups-browsed" service. The configuration
file for cups-browsed is /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf (see the
cups-browsed.conf(5) man page).
