systemd, cups and avahi

I noticed that I couldn't access my (network) printer from Windows any more.

From the logs and other posts here it seems that avahi-daemon must run.
Is that right?
And avahi-daemon needs dbus started.
Is that right?

For systemd, there isn't a avahi-daemon service yet.
Is that right?

So, is the current solution for systemd users with network printer to add
dbus avahi-daemone
to the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf?
(Which should be removed for systemd as far as I know)

Or is there another / a better solution?

Re: systemd, cups and avahi

there should be a service for avahi-daemon:

edit: I just checked and I have a .service file for avahi-daemon.

Re: systemd, cups and avahi

I have a service file for avahi-daemon and I don't even use systemd...

Re: systemd, cups and avahi

You are right, there is a service file for avahi-daemon.

So I entered
systemctl enable avahi-daemon.service
systemctl start avahi-daemon.service
and the printer is ok again for the Windows PCs in my network.
