OK, in the office now.
I looked at the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf on both my FC2 Server and my FC3 desktop.
What I dinked with was the Browsing options. The old default behavior was to turn all this on by default. For whatever reason in Fedora it is shut off. The comments will reflect that leaving alone will allow it to work. They are wrong due to Fedora's "Fixing".
On the server, my Browsing sections looks as such (minus comments): Browsing On BrowseProtocols cups BrowseAddress @LOCAL BrowseShortNames Yes BrowseAllow 192.168.0.0/24 BrowseInterval 30 BrowsePort 631
On the client, by Browsing sections looks as such (minus comments): BrowseShortNames Yes BrowseInterval 30 BrowsePoll 192.168.0.22:631 BrowsePort 631 BrowseTimeout 300
I then used the Fedora Tools (clicked on the K, System Settings, Printing, supplied root password) on the client. If nothing is otherwise defined, it will state "Browsed Queues". Expanding this option will shows all the queues from the CUPS server. If I add a printer to the server without limiting its accessibility, the printer will appear automatically in the list of Browsed Queues.
In addition, all the browsed queues automatically appear in my applications such as Thunderbird, Open Office, etc.
Like I said, once set up, it is child's play. Fedora just makes it harder than it needs to be by turning the broadcasting off.
