Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
My setup:
- Home LAN
- my box: Ubuntu Lucid x64, eth0 is standard interface with DNS set to 8.8.8.8
(Google) and not to our local router
- Samsung ML-2850D (network printer)
Problem:
- Printer is shown active in the printer overview, but doesn't print
- printing jobs fail with "dnssd error", even though everything worked out of
the box before upgrading to Lucid
My workaround:
in /etc/cups/printers.conf, replace entry:
> DeviceURI
dnssd://Photosmart%208400%20series%20(D29CFB)._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/
with
> DeviceURI socket://192.168.178.107:9100
I'm not using a Photosmart printer of course, but the dnssd://-entry looked
nearly the comparable.
After I replaced the DeviceURI entry with the socket://-Adress and the local IP
Address of my printer, everything worked fine.
My question:
Why did this error occur in the first place - I recall that before upgrading to
Lucid, I never read anything about dnssd in cups and underneath my printer the
ip address was shown?
During my research I found out about a couple of topics on ubuntu-
related forums which addressed the same topic so it seems like a bug and
not a mistake on my side.
Is it possible, that the external DNS server is influencing the dnssd in
some bogus way?
Thanks for your patience,
