https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203053 Bug ID: 203053 Summary: print/cups-base: support for DNSSD is incomplete Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: fbsd@opal.com Since cups-1.7.0, printers are now shared using DNSSD. The print/cups-base and print/cups-client ports offer AVAHI and MDNSRESPONDER as alternative implementations of DNSSD, with MDNSRESPONDER being enabled by default. The print/cups-filters port, which provides cups-browsed, offers only AVAHI which is disabled by default. As a result, printers advertised on FreeBSD servers are not visible by default on FreeBSD clients. Now it is possible to see them by having the clients poll the servers using the CUPS protocol, but this is a kludge and not practical in a large environment. Either print/cups-filters should have MDNSRESPONDER support added and enabled, or AVAHI support should be tested and fixed and enabled in all three ports. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
