 |

Hi There!
I'm trying to get a Network Printer working. In the cups-interface on localhost:631, the network printer is listed at "Discovered Network Printers". Adding works as well. But I cant print anything on this printer as it tells me: "Unable to locate printer "BRN_E6E224"."
Googling around, I came to the notice, the printer has to be reachable via avahi-resolve-hostname, which does not work in my case:
| Code: | avahi-resolve-host-name -a4 192.168.123.248
Failed to resolve host address '192.168.123.248': Timeout reached |
Also, with avahi-discover, I dont see any printer or else in my LAN.
Here is the relevant part of my nsswitch.conf:
| Code: | hosts: files dns
#hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 |
When I use line #2, no dns is working at all on my computer.
My rc-list:
| Code: | NetworkManager | default
alsasound | default
apache2 | default
avahi-daemon | default
avahi-dnsconfd | default
bootmisc | boot
cupsd | default
dbus | default
devfs | sysinit
dmesg | sysinit
fsck | boot
gpsd | default
hostname | boot
hwclock | boot
keymaps | boot
killprocs | shutdown
local | default
localmount | boot
modules | boot
mount-ro | shutdown
mtab | boot
net.eth0 | default
net.lo | boot
netmount | default
openvpn.frupn | default
procfs | boot
root | boot
savecache | shutdown
sshd | default
swap | boot
swapfiles | boot
sysctl | boot
sysfs | sysinit
syslog-ng | default
termencoding | boot
tmpfiles.setup | boot
udev | sysinit
udev-mount | sysinit
urandom | boot
xdm | default
|
Also, I got the global flags avahi and zeroconf enabled.
Where is the error in my avahi-setup? |
