You mean cupsd + avahi-daemon on the server and cupsd > + cups-browsed on the client? Yes, considering that I never needed to run avahi before, and don't want to run it either. I don't care for adhoc disorganised networking that's not controlled by me - I already have DHCP and DNS servers handling that. Trying to get a third thing involved, and all of that running in harmony is a nightmare I don't want to have. And *I* don't run avahi, yet printing and printer browsing work for me. CUPS always managed to advertise it's printers to the network, and the clients always managed to find those printers. Let printing be handled by the printing software, not some middling networking server. DHCP and DNS is quite tightly controlled as to what gets assigned what addresses on this LAN. Avahi is a randomised free-for-all. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.12.14-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 20 16:28:07 UTC 2017 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
