all newer "driverless" printers (or rather cups itself) do hard-depend
on avahi features. if you plan to use any such printer in your network
without a lot of manual tinkering with cups and drivers you probably
want to keep it around (though i think installing cups will pull it in
via a dependenc anyway) ... otherwise avahi is just for convenience
