Public bug reported:
The cups-browsed service always use a very high amount of CPU (200%).
This happens on multiple Virtual Machine hosted by Ubuntu on KVM.
I could reproduce the issue on both Intel and AMD x64 cpu architecture.
The VMs had Ubuntu 23.10 and now are on Ubuntu 24 fully updated, but the
issue continues.
Initially the cups-browsed was running as a snap service, then I disabled it
because of the CPU issue.
After that, Ubuntu automatically enabled the service as `systemctl` which I
cannot disable anymore (if I do, it gets re-enabled).
The network is a small office with some printers connected, therefore it is
definitely possible there are network announcements for printers being turned
on or off, but it's too hard to understand if those events are related to the
moment where the service loop into the high CPU usage.
Please other fix the issue or provide a reliable way to shut this
service down definitely.
