Yes, it can - Recently I found this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1379359

So I guess cups is now not a suspect any more...

Up until now, I also did not find anything in this matter.

So, I will have to continue to search for a different solution, or use
my own GTK compilation without Avahi support, also not a thing I wanted
to do...

Anyway, thank you all for your Help (also Helge).

Alex
