Note that older CUPS are probably using the Avahi compat stuff for
Apple's libdnssd ad hence this call will most likely not do what you
expect. IIRC you need to grep for "libdns_sd". Only newer CUPS is able
to link directly against Avahi. (Or actually, this might be a patch
fedora ships, but which is not included upstream, dunno).
