Hello. I'd like to set up avahi server for sharing printers via CUPS.
However it does not seem to work.

1. I started dbus, avahi & cups.
2. I enabled sharing local printers in cups
3. I added cups-pdf printer and mark it as shared

Result - on client (GNU/Linux) avahi-browse -a shows SSH services etc.
on server but it fails to show anything connected to printing.

On server avahi-browse -a complains that daemon is not running. pgrep
says otherwise.

Relevant part of logs:

cups error log: kevent() returned Bad file descriptor
system log: avahi-daemon[77939]: WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS
detected, consider installing nss-mdns!

Regards
PS. Please CC me in responses - I'm not member of group.
