this was it.
The moment i brought the cups-browsed service up, the printer was automagically discovered and added to cups config.

Thank you very much for your help gents!

For those who might come here for help:
on fedora you need to configure cups-browsed.conf. It is pretty self documented.
then enable cups-browsed service and start it:
systemctl enable cups-browsed.service

Glad to have been of help. I'd just posted my previous reply, then saw that you'd posted to report your progress.

i'm not sure if i must have avahi running, but i do have it running and it is too late (night) to figure out the relation of it to "Browsed" service.

No, you don't need avahi since your old CUPS server is still employing CUPS broadcasts, and cups-browsed (on client machines) can work with CUPS or Bonjour (Avahi) broadcasts as described in the man page.
