Description Joachim Backes 2011-03-14 12:44:05 UTC

Description of problem:
Very often, after a F15 reboot I get lost from my network printer Lexmark e120n.
So printing fails.

I have to do the following:

1. sudo service avahi-daemon [re]start
2. sudo cupsenable <myprinter>

My impression: the interaction between avahi-daemon and NetworkManager is buggy.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
avahi-0.6.29-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Very often after reboot

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

I found in /var/log/messages the following lines:
Mar 14 13:10:04 eule avahi-daemon[10313]: Got SIGTERM, quitting.
Mar 14 13:10:04 eule avahi-daemon[10313]: Leaving mDNS multicast group on interface em1.IPv4 with address 192.168.100.105.
Mar 14 13:10:04 eule avahi-daemon[10313]: avahi-daemon 0.6.29 exiting.

I am not sure I understand your problem? is that an mDNS/DNS_SD printer? does it show up in "avahi-browse _ipp._tcp"?

Comment 2 Joachim Backes 2011-04-02 04:45:37 UTC

PLaying a little bit with the avahi-daemon I found out that after reboot no avahi-daemon is running. After entering service avahi-daemon start by hand, the printer can be accessed.

I did not find any avahi-daemon error message in /var/log/messages after reboot!

If I call "avahi-browse _ipp._tcp" after booting, I see:
Failed to create client object: Daemon not running


Is there any additional info I can provide for you? 

"chkconfig --list avahi-daemon" shows "on" for runlevel 3 and 5.

Comment 3 Joachim Backes 2011-04-02 04:47:42 UTC

I forgot: after having started the avahi-daemon, the command

"avahi-browse _ipp._tcp"  shows up:


+    em1 IPv4 Lexmark E120n @ eule                          Internet Printer     local
+    em1 IPv4 Lexmark E120n                                 Internet Printer     local
