Simple: If you call your printer "myprinter.local", and then type "ping myprinter.local", LLMNR will *always* send a DNS query to the root first, before rolling over to a local multicast query, whereas mDNS (except when operating in "Microsoft compatibility mode") will *never* send a dot-local query anywhere other than the local LAN.
