Indeed, CUPS does do its own advertising of print queue and uses
mDNS/DNS-SD. That is its *only* technique it has available for
sharing the queues.
mDNS/DNS-SD requires avahi-daemon to be active. Without it there
isn't any sharing and advertising.
So, I do not understand "...has nothing to do with...".
