Public bug reported: 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: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Avahi#Hostname_resolution ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: avahi-daemon 0.6.32-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-26.28-generic 4.8.0 Uname: Linux 4.8.0-26-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Oct 20 21:31:12 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-10-16 (4 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Release amd64 (20161012.2) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=de_DE PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: avahi UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: avahi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug yakkety -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1635391 Title: [Regression] Avahi-daemon nss-mdns hostname resolution is deactivated since 16.10 resulting in "Unable to locate printer" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1635391/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
