I’ve read a bit about browsing in the CUPS documentation now. It seems that 
the remote server has to mention my local host explictely in its configuration 
file if my local host shall receive printer information from the remote host. 
So I would have to ask the admin of our department to include my laptop in the 
list of recipients of browsing information. I don’t think he will want to do 
that. :-( 

Best wishes,
