Every time I connect my computer to the network, I get a long list of network printers which I cannot use.
In this page: Disable Cups automatic remote printer detection (see comments), someone suggested disabling avahi-daemon. I would do it if I knew what the consequences of this on my system.
Is it safe to disable this network service and what are the consequences of doing this?
I had the same problem, Ubuntu showed all printers in my job(about 50). I tried to disable dbus as suggested in this post, but i found out that when I tried to print something it took a considerable time to show any printers or preview. So I actually removed the avahi-daemon by
sudo apt remove avahi-daemon
It did the trick and at this point i haven't found any problems or faulty services/devices.
