See following Ubuntu bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/173470

If the CUPS broadcasting in cupsd.conf is configured to

BrowseAddress 192.168.1.255:631

(Broadcast address explicitly selected) then reloading the CUPS
configuration via

killall -HUP cupsd

leads to the broadcasting (both CUPS protocol and DNS-SD) stopping with
the error

E [03/Dec/2007:00:11:54 +0100] cupsdSendBrowseList: sendto failed for
browser 1 - Bad file descriptor.

in error_log.

Restarting CUPS with

/etc/init.d/cups restart

and/or using

BrowseAddress @LOCAL

or

BrowseAddress @IF(eth0)

does not trigger this bug.

See also my comment in the Ubuntu bug report about reproducing this
problem.
