  1. CUPS "Unable to locate printer *.local" even though avahi-resolve finds the printer

    CUPS jobs to an ipp://printer.local queue never printed and lpstat showed "Unable to locate printer". Avahi could see the printer, but /etc/nsswitch.conf had no mdns entry, so normal name lookups for .local failed. Adding mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] to the hosts line fixed it.

  2. HP Officejet Pro 8600 "Scan to Network Folder" always fails on Windows 10

    Setting up Scan to Network Folder on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 always ended in an error, because the printer only speaks SMB1. Enabling the Windows SMB 1.0/CIFS Server feature made it work, at a security cost.
