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. Mar 14 13:32:32 eule dbus-daemon: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.193" (uid=500 pid=4254 comm="/bin/systemctl start avahi-daemon.service ") interface="org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager" member="StartUnit" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.systemd1" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init "))
I am not sure I understand your problem? is that an mDNS/DNS_SD printer? does it show up in "avahi-browse _ipp._tcp"?
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.
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
