Here is my version which I suggest turning into a shell alias, function
or script:
avahi-browse -atrp 2>/dev/null | awk -F\; \
'$1 == "=" { printf "%-23s %-26s %5s %s\n",$7,$8,$9,$5 }'
It should print lines like these:
SEC00159939FFD2.local 192.168.0.11 631 Internet Printer
mithlond.local 192.168.0.2 631 Internet Printer
The SEC00159939FFD2.local is my printer. The printer gets its IP through
DHCP but I don't use the IP address anywhere, because the .local name
works automatically. Make sure to install (almost) all packages which
CUPS and Avahi recommend.

I would try to add manually one of these connection addresses:
http://10.76.172.100:631
ipp://10.76.172.100:631
