After re-checking the server I note I don't have bonjour installed 
actually. So I have cups configured to "Share printers connected to this 
system", and that's what it does. I certainly did not have to manually 
configure anything over and above what I needed to get Linux PC's to see 
the printers.

I've confirmed that stopping cups on the server makes the printers 
disappear from the list on the iPad in real time. Likewise starting cups 
on the server almost instantly populates the list again.

Here's my cups version and config file :

(/var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.waia.asn.au_debian_dists_testing_main_binary-amd64_Packages)
