Binary package hint: cupsys
Exporting printers via avahi (i.e. mdns) doesn't work well on gutsy. The two problems I see are:
1) On bootup cups gets started before avahi => Shared printers don't show up in mdns unless one restarts cups
2) Every morning when the log files get rotated, shared printers disappear from mdns. I haven't inspected this closer yet. The only way to fix it is restarting cups again.
Both problems are quite annoying because Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) clients only see printers shared via mdns, normal cups broadcasts get ignored. So currently we have to restart cups every morning so OS X users can print. |

Exporting printers via avahi (i.e. mdns) doesn't work well on gutsy. The two problems I see are:
1) (fixed in avahi) On bootup cups gets started before avahi => Shared printers don't show up in mdns unless one restarts cups
2) (fixed in cupsys) Every morning when the log files get rotated, shared printers disappear from mdns. I haven't inspected this closer yet. The only way to fix it is restarting cups again.

TEST CASE:
1) Fix in avahi
Reboot your system and do
sudo apt-get install avahi-utils
avahi-browse -k -t -v -r -a
Does the output contain IPP printer entries representing the queues of your local CUPS daemon?
2) Fix in cupsys
Get your network's broadcast address(es) via the "ifconfig" command. This is the address/these are the addresses after "BCast:" in the sections of each interface representing a local network (in most cases everything except "lo").
Now edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf commenting out (preceeding by a "#") the "BrowseAddress @LOCAL" line and adding a line
BrowseAddress <broadcast address>:631
for each of your broadcast addresses.
Now do two attempts of restarting CUPS:
a) sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart: After this kind of restart you will always have broadcasting of local printers working, with or without this bug present.
b) sudo killall -HUP cupsd: After this restart broadcasting will stop if this bug is present.
For testing the presence of CUPS' broadcasting, either do
sudo apt-get install avahi-utils
avahi-browse -k -t -v -r -a
or see whether your print queues appear on another Linux box in your network which runs CUPS (and has listening for broadcasts activated).
