this occurs for me as well; disabling ipv6 broadcasting for avahi on the host machine connected to the printer resolved the issue

Cups is able to discover published printers via dnssd protocol but its ipp backend prints only on the IPv6 resolved address which does not answer and it does not try the IPv4 address. ------------------------------------ Excerpt from "avahi-browse -a -t -r" to show the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses + wlan0 IPv6 Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1100 @ hjemme Internet Printer local + wlan0 IPv4 Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1100 @ hjemme Internet Printer local + wlan0 IPv6 MobilIgor5a [00:26:82:9d:b9:6d] Workstation local + wlan0 IPv6 hjemme [00:40:f4:ff:55:32] Workstation local [....] = wlan0 IPv6 Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1100 @ hjemme Internet Printer local hostname = [hjemme.local] address = [fe80::240:f4ff:feff:5532] port = [631] txt = ["printer-type=0x900E" "printer-state=3" "Scan=F" "Sort=F" "Bind=F" "Punch=F" "Collate=F" "Copies=F" "Staple=F" "Duplex=F" "Color=T" "Fax=F" "Binary=F" "Transparent=F" "TLS=1.2" "UUID=1577ef95-eecb-3eae-6d02-aa29003eb546" "URF=DM3" "pdl=application/octet-stream,application/pdf,application/postscript,image/jpeg,image/png,image/urf" "product=(HP LaserJet 1100xi Printer)" "priority=0" "note=hjemme" "adminurl=http://hjemme.local:631/printers/Hewlett-Packard-HP-LaserJet-1100"; "ty=HP LaserJet 1100, hpcups 3.12.2" "rp=printers/Hewlett-Packard-HP-LaserJet-1100" "qtotal=1" "txtvers=1"] = wlan0 IPv6 hjemme Remote Disk Management local hostname = [hjemme.local] address = [fe80::240:f4ff:feff:5532] port = [22] txt = [] = wlan0 IPv6 hjemme [00:40:f4:ff:55:32] Workstation local hostname = [hjemme.local] address = [fe80::240:f4ff:feff:5532] port = [9] txt = [] = wlan0 IPv4 Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1100 @ hjemme Internet Printer local hostname = [hjemme.local] address = [192.168.1.2] port = [631] txt = ["printer-type=0x900E" "printer-state=3" "Scan=F" "Sort=F" "Bind=F" "Punch=F" "Collate=F" "Copies=F" "Staple=F" "Duplex=F" "Color=T" "Fax=F" "Binary=F" "Transparent=F" "TLS=1.2" "UUID=1577ef95-eecb-3eae-6d02-aa29003eb546" "URF=DM3" "pdl=application/octet-stream,application/pdf,application/postscript,image/jpeg,image/png,image/urf" "product=(HP LaserJet 1100xi Printer)" "priority=0" "note=hjemme" "adminurl=http://hjemme.local:631/printers/Hewlett-Packard-HP-LaserJet-1100"; "ty=HP LaserJet 1100, hpcups 3.12.2" "rp=printers/Hewlett-Packard-HP-LaserJet-1100" "qtotal=1" "txtvers=1"] ---------------- Excerpt from /var/log/cups/error_log to show that only IPv6 address is tried I [13/Jan/2013:18:02:55 +0100] [Job 61] Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/dnssd (PID 7179) D [13/Jan/2013:18:02:55 +0100] [Job 61] Resolving "Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1100 @ hjemme._ipp._tcp.local"...
