Yes, works. Printing was not affected by the bug. It already worked before the patch, it was just a problem of finding the printer.

Ironically I did not even know that the ubuntu cups automatically does advertise it's printer over avahi. I had made a manual entry under /etc/avahi/services which worked immediately, but wanted to know what exactly is happening there for curiosity (I jost got my iPad a few days ago). By tcpdumping my iPad-Ubuntu-connection I found more avahi printer advertisings than I had configured manually and wondered where they come from and why my iPad doesn't offer them as printers to choose from. That's why I found a bug in a function that I didn't even know it exists in Ubuntu.
