OpenPrinting optional cups-browsed for CUPS

cups-browsed auto-discovers printers which are announced via DNS-SD and auto-creates local print queues for them. Normally the cups-browsed.service should not be activated because it is a generic security risk when a service accepts any (possibly malicious) incoming information from any host in the local network (in particular DNS-SD announcements) and from that information it auto-creates print queue configurations for CUPS where the CUPS server program cupsd runs as root. Both cupsd and cups-browsed are network services that are designed for use in a trusted internal network and not intended to be exposed to the public Internet or to other non-trusted networks which means: It is crucial to limit access to cupsd and cups-browsed to trusted users. It is crucial to limit access to network printer devices to trusted users. It is crucial to not accept remote printing information from untrusted hosts.
