Hello all, I am not sure if this answers anyone's problem: I see there are many different issues reported and I feel a bit confused, but I am posting here my case, hoping that it could help someone.
On my Ubuntu 14.04.5 system, I had problems accessing a printer via DNS- SD (Avahi). The problem was in fact that cups could detect, but not print to, a printer without a resolvable IP address. I could fix my problem as described in this blog post: https://mypersonalblog1984.wordpress.com/2016/01/09/cups-unable-to-automatically-locate-printer-2/ i.e. in file /etc/nsswitch.conf, I added the "mdns" option to the "hosts" entry. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987212 Title: Wireless printer "Processing - Unable to locate printer."
