I remember that we tried using the bonjour libs for a project inside the Qt company, and I don't remember that we needed any print services from Apple. But I could very well be wrong. >>> >>> The wrappers that use avahi-client and Apple's bonjour lib would be the >>> same as QtDBus as in it would still compile and ship, but is really only >>> an issue for windows. >> >> Do you know if avahi-core could be made to run on Windows? > >When I briefly tried it (2 months ago) I think it was an issue with the >unix style sockets.

So the problem would be to detect if a mDNS stack is already running, and if not start the service somehow? Or is there a way to make it possible to run multiple stacks on one host (ie. Is having only one stack a limitation in the protocol or the implementation)? It would be great if we could simply do this in process.
