Multicast DNS (part of Bonjour, and a perennial draft awaiting love from the IETF DNS WG) is not managed by site administrators and is part of IPP Everywhere.

Also, printers *can* register their own DNS records with traditional DNS infrastructure using dynamic DNS updates (RFC 2136) and many already have support for this...

Anyways, I am happy to note that these are requirements for Multicast DNS and recommendations for traditional DNS.
