[STR New]

Since all modern printers support Bonjour discovery and all modern printers
also support SNMP, when doing service discovery using both SNMP and
mDNS-SD, the same printer will show up twice which could be confusing for
users.  It would be great if the SNMP discovered item could be suppressed
if the printer supports Bonjour.  This could be accomplished by detecing
if the printer is listening on the Multicast DNS port 5353, and if it is
assume it's also being advertised using Bonjour.
