This bug has returned on Precise 32 bit. I have a feeling that some dnsd
packages were updated recently.

Title:
  cups printers not advertised via avahi after upgrade from jaunty to
  karmic

Status in “avahi” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This bug reported for cups might also be caused by/affecting avahi:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/465916

  Summary:

  After upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic, cups printers are no longer advertised via bonjour/dns-sd/mDNS/Zeroconf/Avahi.
  This most severely affects Mac clients where sharing via the cups protocol is deactivated by default.

  avahi version:
  0.6.25-1ubuntu5

  cups version:
  1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1

  expected behavior:
  after turning on printer sharing in the cups web frontend, cups printers should be advertised by avahi

  actual behavior:
  even if printer sharing is turned on, avahi does not advertise the printers
  (tested with mac clients on the local network and with "avahi-browse --all" on the server machine)
  this used to work with Jaunty
