First off: Unless it is desired to make ServerName system-wide, one
should use ~/.cups/client.conf.
Secondly: avahi-daemon, cups-browsed and, more importantly, cupsd
become redundant and unused. They may as well be purged from the
client.
How does the client get to know the printer's attributes? That can
be done at present, even though printing does not take place.
