I upgraded cups to 1.4.6 today and my Macs could no longer print to it. |

I looked and the avahi USE flag is gone, so I checked the avahi wiki |
| 3 |
page to see if some other flag should be used. That page said this: |

Zeroconf isn't enabled by default so you have to browse the CUPS admin |
| 6 |
page and enable it. Open http://localhost:631/admin if you're running it |
| 7 |
on localhost and enable the "Share published printers connected to this |
| 8 |
system" option. "Change Settings" will restart CUPS and your printer |
| 9 |
should be instantly visible to zeroconf-aware applications in the local |
| 10 |
network. |

Unfortunately, shared printers from other systems aren't usable with |
| 13 |
zero configuration by default. You have to check "Show shared printers |
| 14 |
from other systems" under Administration and you have to actively search |
| 15 |
for them and manually add them in the webinterface. |

I looked and I already have those options set. My config file has the |
| 18 |
following sharing options: |

I'm not sure what I'm missing for the Macs to be happy like they were |
| 27 |
with 1.3 and avahi. |
