I have tried this one
error =
avahi_entry_group_add_service_strlst(bonjour_data->ipp_ref,
(int)if_nametoindex("ippusbxd"),
AVAHI_PROTO_UNSPEC, 0,
dnssd_name,
"_ipp._tcp", NULL, "ippusbxd-printers", 60000,
ipp_txt);
end it returns error code -3.
As I told already earlier, I have assigned the host name
"ippusbxd-printers" to the IPP address fd00:1:1::1 in /etc/hosts and
Firefox and CUPS resolve this host name correctly.
