Actually, if you follow the discussion, the CUPS Bonjour auto-discovery
- it presumably handled by the cups-browsed package
(you can uninstall it, or systemctl disable it,
if you don't want printer auto-detection on your
network)
- it could also be handled by mDNS (?)
Yep, 'cups-browsed' is the mDNS listener service (plugin for avahi?) so
that cups can find printers announcing themselves via mDNS.
I'm not sure I understand, but
$ sudo systemctl stop cups.service
$ lp -d Canon_MG3600_series check-for-updates.sh
lp: Bad file descriptor
You stopped cups (ie the whole printing system), not cups-browsed (the mDNS
listener to get printers of the local
network announcing themselves by Zeroconf)
Which brings up the fact that if cups-browsed is present, it disables
the factory drivers which run my 2 brother printers flawlessly, every
feature listed on the boxes Just Works, with the cups flavor of cups
drivers which are grossly broken and have been for a decade or more. I
lose tray choice, color is weak and afu on my color inkjet and my B&W
laser loses duplex and doesn't properly respond to a formfeed.
