I'm on openSUSE 11.1, and CUPS appears to be linked to Avahi -
awilliam at linux-m3mt:~> ldd /usr/sbin/cupsd
...
libavahi-client.so.3 => /usr/lib/libavahi-client.so.3 (0xb78ae000)
libavahi-common.so.3 => /usr/lib/libavahi-common.so.3 (0xb789f000)
And I have "BrowseProtocols dnssd" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
avahi-discover lists all the printers on my network (we've published
them all in standard [unicast] DNS).
Apple's Bonjour client for Windows works. Users can install and use
printer queues.
But applications on openSUSE list none of the network printers. :(
Should this work?
