sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart

# on public available servers, make sure the `avahi-daemon` is disabled, or you will get a warning from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) that your server acts as an mDNS/DNS-SD service.
# You can check this with:

systemctl is-active avahi-daemon.service

# Disable with
systemctl disable avahi-daemon.socket
systemctl disable avahi-daemon.service
