This triggers the bug for me:

$ sudo sh -c '/etc/init.d/cupsys stop && /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon stop && sleep 5 ; /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start ; /etc/init.d/cupsys start ; sleep 3 ; ps auxww|grep [c]upsd'
 * Stopping Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [ OK ]
 * Stopping Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon avahi-daemon [ OK ]
 * Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon avahi-daemon [ OK ]
 * Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [ OK ]
$

Though I have an actual printer and not just the PDF fake printer...
