I upgraded cups to 1.4.6 today and my Macs could no longer print to it.
I looked and the avahi USE flag is gone, so I checked the avahi wiki
page to see if some other flag should be used. That page said this:
Zeroconf isn't enabled by default so you have to browse the CUPS admin
page and enable it. Open http://localhost:631/admin if you're running it
on localhost and enable the "Share published printers connected to this
system" option. "Change Settings" will restart CUPS and your printer
should be instantly visible to zeroconf-aware applications in the local
network.
Unfortunately, shared printers from other systems aren't usable with
zero configuration by default. You have to check "Show shared printers
from other systems" under Administration and you have to actively search
for them and manually add them in the webinterface.
I looked and I already have those options set. My config file has the
following sharing options:
Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow all
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
BrowseLocalProtocols CUPS
I'm not sure what I'm missing for the Macs to be happy like they were
with 1.3 and avahi.
