So if I replaced the dnssd with the DeviceURL it would work? I'll make a
backup and try when I have time.
The setup is what MX does - I just added the printers in CUPS. Just
reinstalling a printer after removing avahi does not change the way the URL
is written, so it must be something deeper un the system.
That said, avagi seems to work well here.

DeviceURI ipp://drucker/printers/MFCJ5320DW
which is a different non-avahi protocol. I have:
DeviceURI socket://192.168.1.104
which again is not avahi-dependent.
Your setup, while not incorrect in the strict sense, is relying on
automagic that's difficult to fix when it breaks.
