Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
I have several print queues on a print server and they have rather
verbose descriptions in their Description/Info fields. The patch to make
CUPS' DNS-SD broadcasting of print queues also working with Avahi
generates DNS-SD service names as "<CUPS description> @ <Server host
name>". Avahi only allows strings with a maximum of 63 characters as
service names and the service names generated by the patch are often too
long. The printers with too long service names do not get DNS-SD-
advertized as Avahi does not accept them.
I have modified the Avahi patch so that in case of too long description
strings, they get cut to assure that the service name is never longer
than 63 characters.
The attached patch contains the changes and applies to the
scheduler/dirsvc.c file after applying the debian/patches/cups-
avahi.patch.
