That doesn't really work. CUPS without the browsing is not really useful. And for the browsing you need to run it continuously all the time. Much like Avahi.
It's nice to be able to boot in 5s, but this is far from a standard Fedora system. Be honest!

As I said before, not everyone needs browsing -- a lot of people are in more or less static environments where the topology never changes. There's no reason why those people should be burdened by the overhead of network browsing.

Exactly. I have one printer, and it's connected to one machine. Why do I
need browsing?
(How many people not using laptops have multiple printers anyway? Is it

Yay consolidation.
