Ran into a problem with my Canon Pixma MG5200 printer (net settings)
for the last week or so, I have not been able to print to my networked printer. I see it just fine, but nothing happens when I print. I decided today to try to fix the issue, which lead me to attempt removing and replacing the printer in CUPS. This failed miserably and I am now unable to add the printer back to my system. It is connecting to my router just fine, but CUPS is not seeing it when I go to add a network printer. Checked my router to make sure it was still in my access list by MAC address, navigated the printer's menu to make sure it was connected to the router (which it most definitely is) and I still get nothing... not sure what else I can do to deal with this issue.

Start by analyzing the CUPS logs at /var/log/cups, there might be something in there that will give you a clue. If not post those logs to a pastebin somewhere and let us have a look at them.

I searched that avahi dnssd error message for you and found this:

There appears to be a solution towards the bottom of that thread.

Re: Ran into a problem with my Canon Pixma MG5200 printer (net settings)
made the change, but doesn't fix my issue of not being able to re-add the printer... will play around with the printer to make sure it's on and actively connected, but at this point, that fix does nothing for me... thanks though... I'm sure it fixed the printing problem I was having before I removed the printer...
