Printing/Scanning wiki using old option services.avahi.nssmdns

Hello together,

i was using the official wiki page for setting up printer and scanner support on my system which worked very well.

However, i think the wiki mentions an outdated option called services.avahi.nssmdns, which is replaced/renamed by both services.avahi.nssmdns4 and services.avahi.nssmdns6. The old option services.avahi.nssmdns is also not listed on NixOS Search anymore.

After setting up i was using services.avahi.nssmdns in my module first, and while building it showed this message:

sudo nixos-rebuild boot
[sudo: authenticate] Password:    
building the system configuration...
evaluation warning: The option `services.avahi.nssmdns' defined in `/etc/nixos/hosts/thomas-PC/configuration.nix' has been renamed to `services.avahi.nssmdns4'.
Not checking switch inhibitors (action = boot)
Done. The new configuration is /nix/store/3kvdybi5brld84dcw6znpppfckh5qsh9-nixos-system-nixos-26.05pre998534.d233902339c0

It was not an error but a warning, and it build successfully though.

The old option is mentioned here:

I’m still just 18 days into NixOS and i’m not sure how the process of updating wiki pages look like.

Am i supposed to create an account and update it by myself? If so, will this be (hopefully) reviewed by other members before the change going live?

P.S: Thanks to the documentation team for their work. The wiki helps me a lot as a beginner.

AFAIK the change goes live immediately.

Yes, that’s how wikis work.

No, that’s not how wikis work.

The documentation team does not, for the most part, manage the content on the wiki. It’s generally just random people, often beginners.
