I can't see printers. Cups client

https://bbs.archlinux.org – CUPS 1.6 changed the behavior of printer sharing and essentially moved its print advertising out to DNSSD. If you don't have Avahi installed on the server, install it and enabled the avahi-daemon and avahi-dnsconfd (initscripts) or avahi and avahi-daemon (systemd). You may need to configure Avahi in order for it to work. Be aware that this may not resolve your issue; there have been a few threads recently related to CUPS 1.6 and the changes made to it with regards to network printer discovery, and some of them may have other solutions or suggestions.

Problems with CUPS 1.6 41 weeks 13 hours ago

After I updated to CUPS 1.6, I experienced the following problems:1. Since CUPS sharing protocol was dropped, I can't see shared printers on my local network even if avahi-daemon started before cupsd. I simply can't figure out how can I share my printer in an auto-discoverable way with avahi. (I can see the printer in avahi-discover, but not in printer dialog.)2.

I've installed KDE desktop, that depends on avahi. It has two daemons avahi-daemon and avahi-dnsconfd.

In ArchLinux wiki there is no info about avahi-dnsconfd. I've tried Daemon and Avahi pages.

[ubuntu] Avahi, CUPS, Ubuntu! 37 weeks 3 days ago

I have Ubuntu Server running on a computer in the back room and a Mac as a client in the living room. Everything is working fine between the two. I can print, share files, everything that you would expect. Recently, I tried to set up CUPS and Avahi so that I can print from my iPad. To do this I have had to create another printer, which I called Airprint.

Printer worked fine previously; something changed recently.Checked for previous #!

Hi,

as topic says, I need help installing 32bit avahi libraries on a 64 bit Fedora 17 system.

this if from readme file for a program I'm trying to install:

Code: If you have a 64bits system, you will need the Avahi libraries for 32bits. How do one actually knows what libraries to install,

this is what I have installed at the moment: some of packages were installed manually by me t

systemd - dbus gets killed 35 weeks 4 days ago

Ok I "solved" this a while ago. MPD is trying to start avahi and that fails and causes dbus to crash...

tried using virtualbox for print server. however the printing halts after 10-15 minutes. restart of guest OS is only solution in that situation.

now again trying CUPS. Can someone guide me? Have installed CUPS and avahi-daemon on the server. The server is 64 bit ubuntu 12.04 lts with canon lbp 3300 and epson printer stylus photo 1390.

A printer was installed and worked but does not now. A job is successfully submitted, but keeps waiting there for printing (as seen from lpq command).

Ping to printer works fine. (The printer is on and works as it prints from Windows.) But on the Printer Property, it shows Printer State: Idle - /usr/lib/cups/backend/dnssd failed.
