Bug Description
Since 16.10 Avahi-daemon nss-mdns hostname resolution for network printer is deactivated.
This causes that print jobs against these printers fail with the error "Unable to locate printer".
As a reminder, before 16.10, it hostname resolution worked perfectly.
As a workaround change the existing config entry in "/etc/nsswitch.
hosts: files resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
to:
hosts: files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname
