Patrick O'Callaghan:
The theory is that you shouldn't have to do anything except
configure
the printer (in CUPS) to use DNSSD. That in turn depends on Avahi
working correctly. Try 'sudo avahi-browse -a -t' to make sure the
printer is visible.
And I wonder how this will affect people who don't use Avahi, et al?
I switch it off wherever possible, because it adds a new can of worms
to networking. I have things on my LAN that can only use DHCP, and
only want one network configuration control to deal with. Avahi is a
bit of a loose cannon.
