If not, keep the printer turned on and Bonjour active in both the printer and computer and run the command again later. Check again, does the avahi.txt contain entries for your printer now? If yes attach the file to this bug report. If you still get no entry of your printer into the file, turn off and turn on the printer again. When the printer has started up, run the command again. Does the fiule contain an entry of the printer now?

Installation worked and I could print/scan via network, but next time I needed to print, the printer was gone from the system. Basically, every time I need to print, I have to install the printer again. I'm not sure when the printer disappears, but I can reproduce consistently.
