Upstream CUPS bug for Avahi Support: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3066
(not recognized by Launchpad upstream integration).

Found a sad comment on one of it's duplicates:
"Note that this patch is not a complete implementation - it only handles 
discovery of printers via DNS-SD, it doesn't handle sharing of CUPS printers 
via DNS-SD."

The problem with Avahi (http://www.avahi.org/ticket/303) is that:
"kDNSServiceFlagsShareConnection is now used throughout CUPS's DNS-SD feature 
set (CUPS 1.4). This is not implemented in dns_sd.h, so Avahi support is not 
able to be added to CUPS."

Thus, even if we get CUPS to compile with Avahi support, it won't be
able to share printers via DNS-SD.
