BJNP is the Canon Inkjet printing protocol. Cups-bjnp implements this protocol to enabler network printing on Canon Inkjet printers. Sane implements it (on port 8612) for scanning over IP-networks. Now it is true that Canon printers often use Zeroconf for advertising their capabilities, so cups-bjnp could theoretically use it to find printers. It however uses UDP broadcasts to find the printers on the local network. Implementing zeroconf in cups-bjnp is somewhere low on my TODO list (I wrote cups-bjnp) as nobody has asked for it and I have no use for it myself.
