Hello everybody,
I got a weird issue with avahi and cannot find information on this. avahi is announcing 57 of 98 cups printers/queues. I expected all of them to be announced. Moreover there is no consequent scheme in the announcements. Some queues are announced with their queue name, some with their description, for example hostname001 @ printserver or printer model @ printserver All printers are shared in cups and I don't get why some are announced and some not. I even got two queues with the same driver, one is announced, the other not. Both destinations are ipp. So I was trying to get information on how avahi receives the infos from cups that are announced. Couldn't find anything. It is probably not depending on the printcap file that cups creates. I guess avahi runs mDNS queries against loopback interface where cups is answering? My goal was to get the txt records via 'avahi-browse -t -r _ipp._tcp | grep hostname' to get them registered in company wide BIND dns servers. If there is another way to get the information, please point me ot it. Or is the only other way to manually check if each printer can punch, collate, staple, duplex ...? In the worst case I will create service files for each printer in /etc/avahi/services/ for which I need the information from the txt records too. My setup is cups 2.3.1-9ubuntu1.1 running on ubuntu 20.04.3 and avahi-daemon is 0.7-4ubuntu7.1 Also I'm not sure if this issue is placed correctly here or if it is more of a cups issue, which I should place on their mailing list? Thank you for any hint, Björn
