Public bug reported:

I am moving a laptop between different places with wired connections to
the same network and ran into an annoying regression in precise, that is
even reproducible when re-connecting at the same place.

Test case:
- plug out network cable
- wait 2 minutes
- plug network cable back in
- wait a few minutes

Expected result:
printers are visible in applications

Actual result:
printers are not visible in applications

/var/log/cups/error_log contains a funny error message:
CUPS-Get-Printers failed: Success

I found https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799595 and the patch
from there (attached, already applied upstream as revision 10321) fixes
the problem for me.

** Affects: cups (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
