No it is not Bonjour related. BJNP is the Canon Inkjet printing
protocol. Cups-bjnp implements this protocol to enabler network printing
That's what I was thinking. On a Canon printer I was thinking that the
BJ part of the name stood for "Bubble Jet" which was a Canon thingy a
few years back.
on Canon Inkjet printers. Sane implements it (on port 8612) for
scanning
over IP-networks. Now it is true that Canon printers often use Zeroconf
for advertising their capabilities, so cups-bjnp could theoretically use
it to find printers. It however uses UDP broadcasts to find the printers
on the local network. Implementing zeroconf in cups-bjnp is somewhere
low on my TODO list (I wrote cups-bjnp) as nobody has asked for it and I
have no use for it myself.

Thanks for the clarification Louis.
