Avahi support is currently limited to discovery; we do not register shared printers using Avahi at this time.

In any case, we could not re-register shared printers discovered via CUPS browsing since mDNS SRV records point to the system registering them - there is no opportunity to point back to the original server.  Instead, add the SRV and TXT records to a common DNS server so that all systems using that server will see the printers.
