Description:
Dnssd was available in previous versions of cups. There was an issue in 1.4.3 that was supposed to be fixed. In the notes it states that --enable-dnssd was going to be the default option. However when checking /usr/lib/cups/backend there is no dnssd backend available. Additional info: * package version(s) 1.4.4 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: have a printer previously configured that uses DNSSD (eg. dnssd://Brother%20MFC-6490CW._printer._tcp.local/ ) Gives error Paused - "Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/dnssd does not exist!" |

"Default" means that dnssd is enabled by default at the autoconf level.
The missing part is a backend plugin for CUPS. It lives in '/usr/lib/cups/backend/' which I would assume makes it part of the CUPS package.
When checking http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/avahi/ it is clear that the Cups backend is not included.
Not meaning to be rude but this info was already in the ticket. Thanks for your suggestion.
