I've never had that experience myself.
I've had a (DHCP-connected) network printer that I had to specify the IP
for manually when I removed avahi (yes, that's a dangerous thing to do;
but we had all of 192.168.*.* and maybe six network devices connected to
a WRT54G router, so there wasn't a collision).

On the other hand, I've also had avahi cause a kernel panic, apparently
triggered by a printer. That was with Ubuntu "Lucid", right around
release (it could have been before release, since I tested that one).

Thanks,
