OK, please file a bug with the Avahi folks - the "Info" string for this printer contains UTF-8/Unicode characters which are explicitly allowed by the current DNS specs.  In fact, a DNS name is defined as an arbitrary string of octets - it is only recently that the IETF has decided on UTF-8 as the standard encoding...

In the meantime, changing the description to only contain ASCII characters will probably work around this bug in Avahi.
