Description biohazrd 2009-12-09 06:59:20 UTC
zeroconf USE flag has been removed - yet the ewarn still says to use it with cups for mDNS.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.sudo hp-setup
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
mDNSResponder finds the printer on the network in the gui, but comes back with error: Unable to communicate with device (code=12): hpfax:/net/HP_Color_LaserJet_CM2320nf_MFP?zc=NPI80FD1A
error: Unable to communicate with the device. Please check the device and try again.


Expected Results:  
Find and configure printer like 1.4.2 did with zeroconf



Configures fine with SLP.  Please fix the ewarn to not give false installation information or provide the zeroconf USE flag again.     

* Starting with versions of hplip >=3.9.8 mDNS is the default network search                                                                                         
 * mechanism. To make use of it you need to activate the zeroconf flag on cups.                                                                                       
 * If you prefer the SLP method you have to choose this when configuring the                                                      
 * device.
