Hadmut, thanks. Now you can remove your manual entry in /etc/avahi/services and your iPad will see all your printers and you are able to print on all of them. Please check whether this will work.

We have enabled Avahi-based mDNS/DNS-SD printer broadcasting in Natty with the help of a patch from Red Hat's printing guru Tim Waugh. Unfortunately, it had bugs and so with the original Natty one could not really make use of it. See comment #11. Now with these bugs fixed (actual problems found by user-posted HOWTOs, see bug 711779) mDNS/DNS-SD printer broadcasting works correctly and is automatically available when one shares the local print queues.
