Cups / cups-browsed is not working with Brother printers

[mbaechler]

Describe the bug

I have a brother printer using wifi and a few NixOS computers. With this setup, I can usually print something right after I boot the computer but then I get this error:

"No destination host name supplied by cups-browsed for printer "Brother_HL_L3270CDW_series@BRWAC50DED7F480.local", is cups-browsed running?"

This is documented and fixed by https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-browsed/commit/57d9351ea45f47b3bd185f263b1e37d276cf17b8 However, there's no release of cups-browsed including this fix for now, so it probably requires to include this fix as a patch of the nix package.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. boot computer
2. print a document
3. print another document

Expected behavior

I would like the document to be sent to the printer

@mbaechler I found a workaround: restart cups-browsed:

systemctl restart cups-browsed.service

I see a duplicate printer device now, but I was able to print from it:
