Bug Description
The Officejet Pro 8500 with firmware LRP1FN1126AR installed does not respond to mdns requests using unicast, but instead the printer only uses multicast to respond to the mdns requests. The mdns requests are sent from the desktop to 224.0.0.251, and the printer sends the responses to 224.0.0.251, which the desktop has not registered as a multicast listener. This bug was seen when attempting to use the hp-setup script, and a little searching online seems to indicate I'm not the only one who is having issues.
Attached is a patch which fixes the issue on my home network.
