Temp queues don't work on LFS/BLFS OS due missing mDNS resolver/resolver plugin #771

Closed FosterSM closed 1 year ago

Version cups 2.4.6. LFS/BLFS Version 11.3 Linux Kernel 5.15.120

I have a firewall system (moira) that hosts a cups server. The cups server is configured with 3 printers. 1 HP5550 on a Windows 10 machine on my internal network. 2 HP7760 a USB printer on the firewall machine (moira). 3 HP6020e a wifi printer accessed via my internal network. There are two problems:

The three printers print fine from applications run on the firewall (moira).
On client machines the printers are shown to exist but the names are wrong.
Also they report as "Getting Printer Information Failed" when attempting to print on them.

All the machines report a phantom printer which appears to be a direct connection to the wifi printer:
HP_ENVY_6000_Series_726F10
All machine report it as "Off line".

In addition to the Cups software the firewall machine has hplip-3.23.5 installed for printer and scanner access.

So my questions are how do I get the client systems to use the correct access to the print services on moira and how do I get rid of the phantom printer.

Thanks

To make sure things are right, I have cleared the queues using the web interface on localhost:631. I have rebooted to make sure there is no lingering effects of the cups-browsed and printing is working again. So I assume that just including the nss-mdns was all that was missing from the very begining. Let us close this issue finally, if I have any further issues I will raise them in a new thread. Thanks for all your help. Stuart
