Systems show Avahi-daemon status: started. but it I don't know how it helps me find a local printer.
I'm puzzled as printers were working last week without any problems. I did not do any update or modification to the system but all of a sudden they stop working "Unable to locate printer" The solution was to change printer setting: lpd://BRN30055C898DF9/BINARY_P1 lpd://brother-5370/BINARY_P1 with: lpd://printer-IP-address/BINARY_P1 lpd://printer-IP-address/BINARY_P1 How to set Avahi-daemon to start automatically deleted printer?
