When trying to print, cups gives the following error:
Unable to locate printer ‘BRWXXXXXX.local’
I have avahi running, to get a list of all the network printers, I use lpinfo -v
network http
network beh
network ipp
network socket
network lpd
network https
network ipps
network smb
network dnssd://Brother%20HL-L6200DW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=e3248000-80ce-11db-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
The problem could be the correct libraries were not installed.
I installed the libraries as follows: nix-env -iA nixos.nssmdns
To correct the problem I need to add the following using sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf
So that the hosts line contains:
hosts: files mdns_minimal dns mdns
However the nsswitch.conf is read only. Any suggestions to help me make this possible correction? I am hoping this gets my network printer to function.
