  Don't specify --with-browseremoteprotocols=cups in order to get the default
  values of cups and dnssd, which should enable discovering shared printers on
  the network. We'll refrain from sharing your printer -- you'll need to change
  that setting yourself. ;-)
  Thanks to TurboBlaze.

  The new --disable-imageProcessor-build option doesn't do squat, so we'll hit
  it with the good old patch again.
