Timo, I have found what the problem is: If avahi-daemon is not running
and cups-browsed has nothing to do (no legacy CUPS broadcasting/browsing
configured) it simply stops, making Upstart restarting it.

As you are opting for living without running avahi-daemon (as your
router or ISP uses .local) cups-browsed keeps respawning.

As a quick fix respawning van get limited in Upstart, for example to
give up after the fifth attempt.

As a real fix I will improve cups-browsed In a future version, staying
in a loop and regularly checking whether avahi-daemon appears and
starting its work then.

As a workaround for the time being, you can make avahi-daemon running,
for example by changing the domain via "domain-name=..." in /etc/avahi
/avahi-daemon.conf (or modify your router's configuration). Making
avahi-daemon running has also the side effect that computers can
communicate about available services.
