Bug#706888: cups: Could not print to server after upgrade: Failed to add Avahi entry

[Luc Castermans <luc@castermans.org>]

Package: cups
Version: 1.5.3-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

After a normal upgrade of Wheezy I could not print anymore from a
CUPS client to the CUPS server. On the server I found below
entry in /var/log/cups/error_log

E [05/May/2013:08:28:43 +0200] Failed to add Avahi entry for HP LaserJet 1320 @ emael: -8
E [05/May/2013:08:28:43 +0200] Failed to update TXT record for HP LaserJet 1320 @ emael: -2
E [05/May/2013:08:28:43 +0200] Failed to add Avahi entry for HP LaserJet 1320 @ emael: -8

What I did to fix it? 

Install avahi-discover on the client and run it as normal user.

This fixes the problem.
