I don't know the cause of jg's printing issue. Wouldn't mind knowing, but I doubt it's snmp. However I note that zeroconf is the way apparently apple is going, rather than SLP, since OS-X 10.2 and later, according to wikipedai and... http://www.unixmen.com/201202-apple-orphans-linux-cups-features-handicaps-open-source-printing/ "CUPS Browsing, the pivotal process that detects cups-to-cups printer queue on Linux will no longer be available. Up until now each CUPS server typically sends UDP packets at 631 port to indicate its availability for queuing. Now, the new changes in CUPS 1.6 will not allow this browsing to happen and will be replaced with DNS-SD. This is already the standard for Mac OS X, but does not include Avahi support. Avahi is a popular system for zeroconf DNS-SD processes." -- Dave Täht SKYPE: davetaht US Tel: 1-239-829-5608 http://www.bufferbloat.net _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
