my last and latest configuration of cupsd

Earlier this year, I set up FreeBSD 10 on a HP-thinclient on USB-Memory and
CUPS used to work for me well enough initially as printserver.
Until, the dependency to dbus was intoduced. Since then a lot of updates, even
reinstallations of CUPS-components and dbus happened, it took some time, until
I realized, that dbus actually has to be
enabled in /etc/rc.conf with the following entry:

dbus_enable="YES"

This still has to be added to CUPS-documentation, so people who install the
package, know what to do. I set up CUPS as a binary package using pkg, not
using the ports-system for this, but I think this is the right category to
report in, because CUPS is not part of the base-system.
But enabling dbus was not sufficient, since then I have been trying
occasionally to make CUPS work again as printserver, but I did not succeed with
this yet.
Shared printers are not discovered by my Debian-hosts anymore. I attach
cupsd.conf.gz, but I think this problem is not due to misconfiguration, but
might actualy be a bug.
When I use my Debian-notebook as printserver (this also still has a
parallel-port), there has to be done no configuration at all, only enable this
with cupsctl:
_remote_admin=1
_remote_any=1
_share_printers=1
and stuff works without any further configuration thanks to systemd, but this
is not the case with FreeBSD.
Today I made one last final attempt, using the lpadmin command, according to
CUPS
online-help, section 'Getting-Started/Printer-Sharing':

> Next, tag each printer that you want to share using the lpadmin(8) command on the
> server, for example:
> 
> lpadmin -p printer -o printer-is-shared=true  

But this does not work either, lpinfo does not show any information at all, so
I ask now.
Currently I can only print testpages from the web-interface, directly on the
server. I have an HP-LaserJet5, it was also set up correctly, using the generic
PCL5-driver.
