Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.8-17
Followup-For: Bug #846381

Dear Maintainer,

I think I am still running into the same issue, although
remote cups servers are not involved -- just local printing
on a WiFi printer. The symptom I see is the print queue being
stuck, and the printer showing in different interfaces (Plasma
settings "Printers" tab, as well as lpstat) the message

No destination host name supplied by cups-browsed for printer "(name)",
is cups-browsed running?

A better description of the problem I encountered is
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-browsed/issues/23

and as I noted in a comment
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-browsed/issues/23#issuecomment-3765203139

Restarting Avahi restored printing.
