Title:
[Regression] Avahi-daemon nss-mdns hostname resolution is deactivated
since 16.10 resulting in "Unable to locate printer"
Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Since 16.10 Avahi-daemon nss-mdns hostname resolution for network printer is
deactivated.
This causes that print jobs against these printers fail with the error
"Unable to locate printer".
As a reminder, before 16.10, it hostname resolution worked perfectly.
As a workaround change the existing config entry in "/etc/nsswitch.conf" from:
hosts: files resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] mdns4_minimal
[NOTFOUND=return] dns
to:
hosts: files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname
as described here:
