Can you try my DNS-SD backend for CUPS, from

http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/dnssd

Put it into /usr/lib/cups/backend/ and make it executable. Then your network will also get scanned via DNS-SD/Zeroconf. This works with ALL printer setup tools: gnome-cups-manager, system-config-printer, KDE Printing Manager, CUPS web interface, ...

Please report your results here.

Note that CUPS 1.3 does not use DNS-SD for discovery of network printers. It only uses DNS-SD for making available info about the CUPS queues which are shared to the network (in addition to IPP).

This backend adds discovery of network printers via DNS-SD to all CUPS versions.
