I updated the avahi wiki to include a useful snippet about enabling print capabilities from mobile devices. Please review and revise if there are any tweaks needed. Thanks.

I have never manually set up something like this, so I might be wrong here. However, on my parent's Ubuntu machine this "just worked" without any configuration at all, so I'm a bit surprised that a printer specific configuration is needed.

I had to manually add it to get the iPhone to print directly to the laserjet. Other hardware may do a better job, but if you need to print from iOS, you have to manually create the service. (It may be intentional - there are several pay-to-print apps available...) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
