Here is why I had to enable the "avahi" option; in cups' error_log:

Then I looked at the PLIST from cups-base:

> ${PLIST.ippfind}bin/ippfind

Which led me to the "avahi" option in options.mk:

Besides when building on macOS, this is the only place where ippfind
makes it to the package.

Now I do not know enough about cups' internals to determine what comes
from where, what is really needed or not, etc. However after enabling
the "avahi" option and re-installing cups, I was finally able to add
my printer again, with the same procedure as usual (through the web
interface) and obviously the error above about ippfind disappeared.

Cheers,
