Dear Martin,
In reply to your request for feedback...
I have a local network with Gutsy installed on all machines and the
latest Avahi patches installed on all machines. I use vanilla cupsd.conf
files on all machines, on the server I have allowed sharing of published
printers and the printer is published. On the clients I have allowed
browsing for shared printers.
When I start the server machine in the morning followed by the client
machines, the clients do not see the shared printer at all. Shared
folders does work.
If I go to a terminal session and restart cups, the clients see the
printer and I can print from the client with no problem. ie to get the
shared printing working I have to do a manual restart of cups. This
indicates that the config files are correct, but that there is some
problem in the start up of the machine that makes the server printer
unavailable.
I hope this helps; please contact me for further info if required, as
this is a very frustrating bug.
Thank you
Hilary
