(1) has to be fixed in the avahi-daemon package. The startup links for /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon have to be renamed from S24avahi-daemon to S18avahi-daemon to start before CUPS (s19cupsys). Moving cupsys is not possible as it has to start before Samba, otherwise sharing printers via Samba will stop working. See current start order here:

till@till-laptop:~$ ls /etc/rc5.d/*cupsys*
/etc/rc5.d/S19cupsys
till@till-laptop:~$ ls /etc/rc5.d/*samba*
/etc/rc5.d/S20samba
till@till-laptop:~$ ls /etc/rc5.d/*avahi*
/etc/rc5.d/S24avahi-daemon
till@till-laptop:~$

(2) I cannot reproduce this on both Gutsy and Hardy.

If I force a logrotate

sudo /usr/sbin/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf

I still get my local queues being mDNS-broadcasted. Check this with

avahi-browse -k -t -v -r -a

(You need to install the "avahi-utils" from universe to do so).

Can you also do this test and in addition post your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf?
