Are you supposed to remember which epson printer is which without any
clues?  Are they both going to get the same name?  Will they self-
modify one of their names?  Will they always be the same ones in the
same order?  I despise things that make me play guessing games.

Samuel Sieb:
You can set a description for the printer that it will broadcast in the
mdns advertisement packets.  CUPS will show that when you go to print.

Yes, required manual intervention.  But what will it do if you don't?

I think they usually have the MAC address in the name somewhere.
But regardless, what do you expect to happen? It's still better than plugging in a printer and having to figure out what IP address it happened to pick up. If you plugged in two printers without mdns, how are you going to tell which one is which?
