Bug Description
My printer (EPSON Stylus Photo RX520) is connected to a Yakkety station called "paris" which is the printing server.
Printing is fine from the server.
When i configure another Yakkety station to print via this server, the printer is detected OK via dnssd, the driver is installed OK. But i can't print.
I get the following message "Unable to locate printer "paris.local"."
I used to work on xenial but the connection was through ipps. I tried to configure the connection as in xenial, to no avail ...
What i did:
add "192.168.1.4 paris.local" in /etc/hosts
remove printer from cups, reinstalled it and i finally was able to print on the remote printer!
Don't know if this problem is related to cups or avahi ...
Ubuntu 16.10
cups 2.2.0-2
What i expected to happen: printing successful
What happened: client cannot locate remote printer, add to add a line in /etc/hosts to make it work
