I don't know if this is related to Avahi or not, but with the default 
firewall rules I can't see my friend's printers shared via his Mac 
system.  As soon as I turn off the firewall, the printers show up in 
the GNOME printing dialog.  It would be nice if this just worked 
correctly out-of-the-box and in the LiveCD case without needing to 
fiddle with firewall rules.
